1954 Oval Beetle

Just some eye candy :flash: from the private collection of the late Lolly Jackson. Last saw this car at warehouse about a year ago. Should be up for sale soon. Big bucks i would guess. Cheers. Vintage.

It looks more like a 57 from the position and shape of the sunroof. The front indicators must have been added; they were US spec 55-57. Also it's lost its W decklid. I wonder if it was SA assembled? That makes three RHD oval ragtops that I've ever seen in SA.

Have no inclination to go look at abused/oppressed/exploited (pick one) woman thanks (irrespective of what they themselves sometimes say). Hence, my comment stands :mrgreen:
