Out with the old & inn with the Pick `n Pay cabrio Lady

[Bugger]

I just bought my Wife a Little Corsa with the Super Boss motor as I wanted to start Re-spraying her Bug that she was Driving for the last 2 years as a Daily driver
and Another Sweet Deal cam to touch

Some of You might remember some of the Pick `n Pay Cabrio Beetles I have built in 2001 for their 25th Birthday Bash

Well one of those came up for sale and I could not resist


This Cab was won by a Lady at the Boksburg Hypermarket and sold to a Friend of ours 8 years ago. The total Millage the Cabrio has done since the Rebuilt is 10 000Km and it looks as if it was built yesterday
Yes the Paint is as good as new with a Scratch or 2 here and there but that is not the end of the world

This Picture was taken from the mazzenine spares floor before we started to ship the cabrios to the 14 differant Hypermarkets through out SA

Each Store had a internal competition as to who can decorate their stores the best with the Cabrios

One of the Expensive out lays was to have the Cabrios Re-Sprayed properly to be able to deliver a superb product

This Pic was taken inside an Additional shop that we hired to build the Cabrios as the normal shop was to small

The Management and the Marketing Director could not believe their Eyes when I pitched up at the Meeting all the store Managers had regarding the 25th birthday bash in a Red Cabrio
