Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi Guys. I have a bit of bad news. U know ones tends 2 believe what people tell u. unfortuanately the 56 turns out 2 be a January 1960 model. A bit disapointing, as I believe the older the better. I spent the whole day taking out a bee hive out of the engine compartment, so I could get 2 the ID tag. Oom Erus just checked the Vin plate.... Jan 1960. Oh well I think I will have 2 look for a older model. Cheers
Guys and sorry for misleading u. HILTON

Dam...!!! The total disappointment....

I do think you should keep looking for the older 50's models, they are a lot more collectable.

And just to help you make space for these more collectable buses, I will be more then willing to take these newish ones off your hands..

Let me know when to fetch them, and the deed will be done...

Which model is this one?

Looks like you got quite a bit of work ahead of you.

I sent you a PM with my email details.
