Aircooled VW South Africa

After visiting the Dave Rowley day today we stopped at someone my dad used to work with,
He is the original buyer of this bug., he is an old guy and left it to someone in his will that loves beetles!! Everything works and the care is taken care of very well. Not even aloud to touch the car on the paint just handles, the old guy said your oils from your hands will pull into the paint, so dont touch it

WOW !!!!!!!
Check out the upholstery on that last pic !!! Whoever inherits that '58 is flippen lucky
Barn find ? I think so
Cool pics Splitz !

WOW WOW WOW What are the 2 gauges in the dash

Lovely bug! Please let the owner know that it's one very special beetle!!!!

He knows, he was very proud telling some stories, including waiting months for it on the waiting list

Very nice. Who was looking for seat covers?

From what I can tell, they look like 40mm Motometer gauges.... most likely Amperemeter and Fuel Guage

If they are, they were distributed by Hella in Europe, and were sold parralel to the Dehne fuel gauge.

Below is one I have at home...

Can anyone help with a fuel float for the car?
Where can he get and what price is he looking at

Have you tried Jurgen if no one else has one for sale? He owns a 58 too and I would guess has a stash of spares for the year!
