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.

Re: Convertible Beetles
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!

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

Saw this one in Stellenbosch yesterday, certainly not a factory convertible, looks cool though !
