Aircooled VW South Africa

An article appearing in the local newspapers of Sarel van der Merwe that at the age of 15 stole and crashed his Fathers 1958 356 speedster in 1962.This is the speedster that's currently for sale at Crossley-Webb in CPT for about R6million. http://www.netwerk24.com/ontspan/2014-1 ... ie-porsche

“Toe die polisie vir my pa sê die Porsche het van ’n ongelukstoneel weggejaag, het my pa dadelik geweet dis ek: ‘Julle beter sorg dat julle hom in die hande kry voor ek hom kry, want as ek hom voor julle kry, sit julle nog met ’n moordsaak ook’.

That is a really cool story.

Story is pretty cool, up until the end...

I've known about this car since August, they already wanted 6mil for it then. That while other 356's were advertised for 1.6 to 2 mil, the few that I saw. I am not sure this guy is going to get his price for the car, unless he sells it to an overseas buyer. Even then he will have to drop it to compensate for export duties etc.

So seeing as he can't sell the car, lets try pawning it off to Sarel, who has an emotional history with the car. Call him up, tell him the car is for sale, stir up all the old memories, ask him if he wants it, then Boom! 6 mil please Mr. vd Merwe.
Sarel is ryk, maar 6mil is 6mil...now he has to go home and feel kak because he cant get his dads old car back. And we know this guy got the car at a good price. Given, he's probably spent alot on it, maar mens moenie altyd wil aftree met een verkoop nie.

Maybe I'm wrong, just my opinion
