Aircooled VW South Africa

Are all convertible beetles imported and thus hard to find? And if so from what years and what is the oldest convertible known by you guys in SA??

I know of a 1302 LS 1968 in CT.

And a 1956 one if still here, beautifull!

Then the superbeetles 71-72 up till 1976

Where the 71 and 72 beetles different (windscreen flat)

and, have all convertible superbeetles in SA the mcpherson struts and diskbrakes?

Last.. anyone knows a convertible for sale in good nick? (PM me)

Bugz...there is a 1957 convertible in Cape Town for R95k. If you look in Autotrader you will see....I have previously posted pics as I was thinking of buying before I found BB.

Jason's old one with plate "OLD VW" - Black with red interior.

Crap..

Thats nice.

Lot of dough though.. for not completely original, but then again, what a ride.

and 1973 upwards convertibles?

(1971/72, flat windscreen, later round) Must be all imports then, with the mcpherson struts? (superbeetles)

Am I correct?

Trying to find one, but not easy to come by.

There was a red convertible parked at Dirk in Pta's place a few month's ago belonging to one of his customers... There was also a sweet blue 1302 at CITP belonging to Andreas Radel i think. So there are a few around

Hey Bugz,

Just got to reading this now... I know of a cabriolet that's for sale (well it should still be as it's still advertised). I'd shown quite a bit of interest in this one and no doubt, it's worth every cent as they are so rare here, but alas - R105k (I think it might have even dropped to R95k) is a bit much for me atm.

Happy hunting...

Dont take any of the prices on cars as the price shown. A lot of the places need to move cars and are willing to drop the price for interested buyers or give good trade-ins. Two of the cars i looked at have had their prices dropped by 19-24% so far. Go in, make an offer, whats the worst that can happen? Now is the right time to buy cars actually..
