Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi 73type2,...I'm doing my darnedest to upload pics but it keeps saying "No images could be successfully uploaded"???

My Merc is a 1970 280SE 3.5 V8 Coupe (The low-grille W111)

I'll try the pics again later.

Thanks Cagey. Maybe try adding one image at a time? I always upload JPEGs using the "Add image to post" feature just below the reply text box. I don't know if there might be problems with other formats.

Hi 73type2,

Hi all.

I have registered a while back but don't think I introduced myself. My name is JJ. My great grandfather had a 1975 Autovilla and I wanted one sine I could remember. I finally got my hands on 1. Hope to get expert advise from you guys.

Welcome JJ! You know that people are going to ask for pictures of your Autovilla, so please oblige us! It doesn't matter what it's current state it is, just post.

Some pics

Jurgen, nice cars on your side there.
JJ I love your Autovilla.
I am also a fan of more original

Hi. I’ve had several beetles over the years, mostly as a student back in late 80s and early 90s. I drove these mainly due to financial constraints (I was a student at the time). My best friend drove a yellow Beetle SP, which his father had restored for him. I could never afford one, even when he sold his for R12000, it was way above my budget (R50 a day working as a student was considered lots of money). Now that I’m settled, done most, I desperately looking for a SP. all seem to be broken, converted, or just in bad shape. I am looking for a decent one, perhaps restored, seeing that I don’t have the time, space or mechanical inclination to restore one.
