Aircooled VW South Africa

This is one of the best looking early beetles i have seen!

How much would you recon its worth

...more than a fleetline

I have had a feeler offer for R55000 on Saturday for it. All I can say is I can't replicate this car for that kind of money. The previous owner is also interested in it, he is a collector, and I know it will be on the next container to Madeira, if he takes it as he only visits SA on the odd occasion now to buy up classic cars.

My God! That has to be the nicest Beetle I have ever seen! 11 out of 10 to you Rui. Truly inspiring.

The best I have seen. Excellent work Rui. This one changed my friend mind about Beetles. He now wants to own one.

BLIKSEM!

I thought you only saw these things in book! Amazing work

Stunning Rui.
Something for me to aspire to.

Love the dual carb setup, and all the period accessories !
Really well done, congrats

(CHECK POST TIME) DUDE, don't you sleep ?

What was the condition of your car when you got it? I love those side mirrors, aaaagh just love everything on it

Not as much as most....

This is what it looked like when I got it, many problems, the previous owner reconed the tranny was shot, but a set of new tranny mounts sorted that out Interior was crap, so was the paint. Apparently this car was a pan off resto in 1991, if so it was a crap job.



Had accident damage at the front.

Once again, really, really, brilliant job. I would never be able to sell it.

Do the semaphores work?

Not at the moment as I'm running 12V but it's on the to do list, but they have been rebuild and just need connecting to some sort of 12-6v stepdown on a seperate switch.
