Aircooled VW South Africa

Yes, that's where it is on SA-assembled splits. I'm not certain where it is on a bay. There should also be a VWAG VIN plate somewhere in front.

Cool we are having a birthday Party
I will have to go and buy Norm a birthday cake, I know he likes chocolate
next year we will have to get him some

Here are the pics promised of the roof outside and inside. There are no identifying plates whatsoever regarding the origin of this roof.

WOW! That's an Arcomobil/Grawomobil.

That's a rare German camper conversion built in Stuttgart. They started converting splits under the name Arcomobil in 1960. In about 1971 the name was changed to Grawomobil. I doubt you'll ever see another one in RHD.

Bliksem.

Thanks Fig.
You just changed my whole plan. I wanted to get rid of the roof and put another top on. But that plan has changed completely now. Do you have any other info?

What an amazing find!
