Aircooled VW South Africa

I spotted this parked outside Joe's in Linden, Jhb yesterday:
These are very rare in SA. This may be the same one someone else (Klaus?) posted a while back.

LHD, and that extension in front looks like a spare wheel cover... (and not some steam-sprayer conversion)

Yes, it's a spare wheel mount and cover. That was a factory option on late bay westies. Also lengthens the front crumple zone.

Same bus. There is an old lady that drives it around the westrand area. Hopefully one she will reply to one my notes on her windscreen

I have seen this bus several times along the Hendrik Potgietser road. The lady has my number as well
Well, i hope she does - also left a note...
