Just found this bus the other day, went up to a farm outside Springbok on the 23rd December to go fetch it. This came from telling a work colleague of mine about my interest in vw kombi's and about two months later he told he about this kombi. It was laying on their neighbours farm and they came accross it while searching for some missing goats. They took pictures and emailed it back to me, and two days later myself and my girlfriend went to fetch it.
From the farm house it was a 2 hour 4x4 trail to get to it, about 1.5 hour was on a track, the rest there was no road. It really was in the middle of nowhere.
According to the farmer it belonged to his father and he guesses it has been laying there for about 20 years. Apparently it broke down there and was just left, but they must have come and stripped parts off it at a later stage.
Here is the first sight I got of it.
