Aircooled VW South Africa

Does any one know if there are still some of those Rolls Royce Beetles around from the 80s,from what I can remember there where some legal issues with RR.
Can any one remember who built the nose sections,I think they had other models but I cant remember.
Just curious to know.

Some toystore in the South has one as an advertisement car

Wait for Pine to post the pic

I was thinking the same thing!

Funnily enough I saw one today in Maitland on the way to work

This one runs around in Durbanville often. (That's north of the boerewors gordyn in the Western Cape for those who aren't in the know.) Wasn't able to get a pic of the nose-piece but it definitely has one of those Rolls' noses.

If I recall correctly Shelly's in Salt River, Cape Town did the conversions in the 80 s

Have some pic's here, as Pine must be out of town.....









Think it looks nice.... if done right.

Thanks Herman,long time since I actually seen one,like you say they look good if done right,but you can never seem to take the Beetle look out of a Beetle.

Haha, just last night I was watching Cheech and Chong Up in smoke! The amount of busses and bugs WOW.

Here's Chongs err Rolls

These pics were taken by Rudi02

Heres a popular one in Cape Town

Would these be worth anything now ?
Some very well turned out ones .
I think the red one Herman posted looks the closest to a RR.
Thanks guys

Thanks for the pic's.

I remember that Ulta Kitchens in Vereeniging had three of these cars painted in their colours as promo for the bussiness. Steel kitchens were the vogue in the middle 70's. But these cars never grew on me. I more of an original guy.

I'm sorry, but every time I see one of those, it makes me think of a pig with lipstick.......
