Aircooled VW South Africa

Got this off one of my previous spiltty's...
R250 for both

Only the Glasses ? or do we get the other bits with where did the T come from a bug of Fleetline back door ?

T handle is from a 58 beetle decklid and im open to offers..didnt think anyone would be interested in them.

Can you pls post a closer Pic of the glass as I can not Identify them properly are they original VW ones or Aftermarket glass ?

Checked, they have no vw emblems on them.

Those look as if they are lenses from a Fleetline. Fleetlines didn't have the VW emblem on the lens.

Sean, those look like lenses from an old Mercedes Benz truck, they are not VW lenses.

They will work though...

I got them off my old Splitty so they definitely work, never owned a merc truck like that so I cant comment, lol.

This is also correct sean, thanks.

Bus and Beetle headlight lenses only featured VW logos in the 1950s. After that they were only branded Hella or Bosch. There were VW markings and part numbers on the other ehadlight parts, but not the lenses. The Mercedes truck headlights have lenses identical to the VW lenses. Among the numerical codes on the lenses are codes identifying when the lenses were made, but I know nothing about decoding these.

Fleetline lenses are unique, and different to German split bus lenses.

my bus has merc truck headlight lenses.......

...as a matter of fact, its got complete merc truck headlight assemblies. R280 a light.

R280 for a complete headlight setup..... thats cheap!!
