Wish I had parked next to it and taken photo's of both cars together, would have been stunning photo's...

Re: Found a Bonito for sale
Hey Guys.
Yup this is my Bonito you see in the pics.
Found her in a garage after being parked there in the late 80's and never moved until I found her.
I've kept her original as I found her.
Built on a VW pan that has been strengthened.
One of five in SA I believe.
Dont want to sell her but I need a bakkie now.
Price neg I you know Of anyone guys.
