I picked up a copy of Unique cars, had two LHD KGs for $23k & $27k and a split for $17ks? I am just thinking if I am about to spend around $30k on a car, would I really go for a vintage VW? When you consider the choices in this price range, there is a lot of good buys out there. So what would you buy?

67, 68 or 69 big block Camaro.......Allthough a 600 hp EH sounds pretty good too! ....... So does a nice ghia, or a split window bug......

hmmmm, Who's giving out the $30.000 again??? I might need more than that.......

So why did you buy a new beetle cabrio for twice the price of a KG when what you really want is a KG?

Me, I would finish the build of the SubaManx, finish the Raaf rat kombi, and put the rest towards a 356 for resto or a replica 356 speedster.

I reckon a 23 window would fit the bill but would probably need another 30 to fix it up

When I handed over my $50,000 to the lovely salesman I knew that it was the last I would have to spend. My car runs reallywell all the time. It has the convienence of all the modern extras, HEATED leather seats, air con, full electrics, heated mirrors, automatic roof, CD player, airbags, roll over protection etc etc ..... Could never hope to get all of that in a KG !
