Yip. I was diving at the aliwal shoals and took a drive down the coast the one afternoon and there it was.

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

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.
