Convertible Beetles

Post by jolas »

Spotted both of these this month - the white one was in Paarden Eiland under restoration, very nice !
The second was outside a garage in Stellenbosch, looks like it's freshly painted.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

This guy has been in the papers for doing dodgy deals and allegedly ripping people off, he runs a workshop that
"restores" vintage vehicles. Ive seen clients cars there that havent moved for over 5years!

Id be VERY careful!

what rims are those on the two tone - they look a cross between Fuchs and Gas Burners. Maybe they're from the 914?
