69 Bug I use to have
Here is some pics of my 69 bug i owned in the 80's. At the time it was sort off the look for Bugs, whaletail and all. Had a 1635 motor with rollerbearing crank and twin 36 webers. The car was bought in 1969 by my Uncle for round about R1600, brand new.

Re: 69 Bug I use to have
The colours may work for Bugger, one could see him better at 250kph, but the tail might just make him the second Mark Schuttleworth

Sadly I never had enough money to buy one.A place called Imparts in the cape used to sell the kit. I only saw one in the flesh in 1990. Actually look great.
