Re: Karmann Kabriolet
I wonder where the engine is drawing its cooling air?

Re: Karmann Kabriolet
Nice pics Fig... looks like the 1964 Kabriolet that was sold in Somerset West last year or 2010 for R80K. I agree with you Fig... its missing its vented Kabriolet deck lid for cooling

Re: Karmann Kabriolet
Sounds like the same one. The registration had 1964 in the number, but it looks more like a 63 to me. The young couple driving it said they are looking for a split bus. Maybe I should have offered a trade ...Muderick wrote:Nice pics Fig... looks like the 1964 Kabriolet that was sold in Somerset West last year or 2010 for R80K.

Very nice car.
Would be awesome to cruise those nice roads down there in it.

Re: Karmann Kabriolet
Very few in SA. All Beetle cabriolets were full imports. In Germany a cab cost double the price of the Beetle sedan. Fully imported cars attracted a 100% import duty in SA in those days, so a dealer imported Beetle cabriolet in SA would have cost more than four times the price of a locally assembled Beetle sedan.Blitzkrieg wrote:How many of these are there around and what are they worth??
