Aircooled VW South Africa

Just opened the Sept Volksworld Camper and Bus and looky what we have......








Still trying to decide if it's good publicity or not

Fleetlines are famous now!

We're the only ones who don't appreciate Fleetlines. The poms have already nabbed LOTS of them, and we lost another one to Australia last week.

I also heard about a New Zealander who is in SA now and has bought 38 buses to ship back home.

Meanwhile, it seems that you can't sell a bus on this site, even at a bargain price ...

WHERE'S the bus for sale ?

I love fleetlines as much as I do german busses,......maybe a little more! This is not going to be my last split bus,.....as soon as I have the cash im going to look for a nice split single cab.Then a pre 67 beetle,then a ghia!

38 buses that locals could have saved....Sorry but just where are all the hardcore enthusiasts??

I just don't get this....

I don't see you with 20 Fastbacks in your yard, Blitz'.

How many have you passed over?

Quite a few by this forum's account.

Generalization is a real B*tch.

If some of us had the space, forex power and resources to rescue 38 buses, we would.

Passed a few over, saved a few from the crusher, saving another 2 soon, trying to get some storage space for something that has moerse blindspots ( ), so yes I have done my fair share of rescuing.

I'm not talking about you, fig, or any other legitimate Bus owners - referring to those people who continually whine about looking for a cheap Bus but won't take the initiative....

Anyway, before this goes pear shaped

Two bargain-priced split panels for sale on this site; no takers so far ...

been saying this for a while. the fleetline is a unique part of vw history and others fancy a bit of that. the local scene has always looked down upon them, hence many struggling to sell good ones for 20k.

at least i have my single cab fleetline sorted :0)
