Hi collytwin - welcome to the Aircooled VW South Africa forum
As we say here - photos ASAP - or we don't believe you
Busses in South Africa rust just like other busses all over the world, have a look at some of the restoration projects in progress, just a heads up ....
Unless you are lucky and score a good deal, you will find that the busses offered for sale (which look to be in good nick) are getting pretty pricey here now ....
And I believe that getting vehicles cleared and shipped is also quite a wack - on your side as well - once it has landed ......
So do your homework, don't get taken for a ride, and most people here probably won't be too keen to see yet another ZA bus leaving our shores
So you won't have sellers lining up. But dude we all have a common interest, and that is our passion for Kombis, so hang around, make a few friends and don't forget about the pics
