Aircooled VW South Africa

i keep coming back for another look, she really has it all

if my 54 looked like that, i would not do anything but enjoy driving her.

can you please put up more pics, some inside ones too? thanks

once again, beautiful!!!!

Thanks. Yes, this car is amazingly complete and original. I'll take more detailed pics when I get the chance. It has a few cool accessories in addition to the intake grille trim: a VDO clock and period oil temperature gauge, as well as several tiny lights to illuminate areas on the dash. It also has the optional passenger grab handle (may have been standard on local cars), as well as a locally made Supersonic radio.

Wownice buy and a very cool car!

by far the most beautiful bug in SA. WOW

Fig - Well done - you are indeed a very lucky man !! Really envy you now !!

Me and the seatcover have been looking for one for many years - its high up on my (and i'm sure most ac entusiasts) list of the ultimate !!

Love the Patina

sies fig. Serios(like in smelly Pete) now congrats with that one. Saw it at CITP? not sure. Enjoy it.

I still have to work that out myself. I'm guessing headlights, windscreen wipers and choke.

an Original Dehne fuel guage,oil temp gauge, worth more than some of our beetles!

Damn thats cools, Love it.... and an OG radio, onreg-blerrie-verdig as jy my vra.
