Aircooled VW South Africa

CAR, December 1972

My grandfather had one of these,dont know what happend to it when he passed away.I think my dad sold it or something.This was many many moons ago

My folks had a 412 4-door sedan before I went to school, and it was later replaced with a 412 LE Variant, the car I basically grew up in.

Personally I've had 4 412 Variant's (yellow, white, green and brown) and a blue 411 Variant the past 10 years. When I sold the blue 411 I said 'never again' (but I think I lied )

These cars were (and still is) awesome.I saw them doing 160km/h,no sweat.

dont see many of them around anymore,the ones you do see on the road have been butcherd and fitted with watercooled motors

In the estae where I stay there is a beautifull red one that the owner had since new.

Old thread, just bought a very nice original 412 Variant LE automatic.
I love the look of this wagon.
