Aircooled VW South Africa

If not the correct collective noun, I apologise

On my way to a supplier on the East Rand yesterday, I spotted a collection of Bays next to the road.

As luck would have it, I had the camera with me.

These vehicles are all in the Petit area near Springs

The panelvan apparently has papers, no engine or gearbox

Selling for R2500



The Westy had the nose butchered for a radiator

Selling for R3500



The SC and Combi are in the same yard, no info on prices though.

If you pass by there again could you pls find out how much the red kombi is or if its for sale

I might be passing by there again next week.

I"ll find out for you then

I tried to buy the bus in the background, but the old boy who owns these (I think they are in the same yard) seems to have hoarding tendencies and the guy I spoke to said he won't sell the bus and it's hard to get him to part with anything else either...

I've noticed the blue SC and the red Office, but didn't see the others.

I was lucky enough to buy the pickup. The red bay is going for R10 000. Lots of rust though.

Where exactly are these, I would like to have a look

I know where petit is

According to Google Earth:
Red Bay and Blue SC 26deg06'14S 28deg22'10.64E
Panel van 26deg05'32.43S 28deg22'46.85E
Westy 26deg07'55.54 S 28deg23'23.16E

Its as close as I can identify fromt the old maps

cool thanks

As you're driving out on Pretoria Rd from Benoni you come to the Crystal Park 4 way stop with the shell garage on the right. Continue straight across the 4 way stop and then take the left hand side road at the fork - it's about 50m from the fork on the left hand side, before the Petit Co-op.

Which one you going for?

That red combi is FULL of rust, i have seen all those cars... not worth the price

"Flock of bays"....?

Everybody knows that bay window busses sometimes travel in pods,and as you can see from the pictures,when they are placed in such dire circumstances they have been known to apply the safty in numbers survival stratagy,....

What he said.

However, I'm tempted to have a look at the westie. Dunno how easy it would be to fix the nose and all the other holes that will have been cut in it for the conversion tho?

that van is nice, anyone had a look at it?

I think the glass and doors are worth more than what they're asking especially for the westy !
