Hi Guys,

My name is Alex, and this is my little beast!! hehehehe

its a 62 ragtop, the only thing i have done to it is put on the wide chrome wheels. I brought it from a guy called Adrian who lived in melbourne so me and my dad flew down and drove it back to sydney no problems! I brought it in Feb 04. and its my first car. i took it to its first show at the flat four shootout but didnt win anything, there were to many other nice beetles there on that day! but i still think it was the best one hehehehe.

small world 😀 I nearly bought that car last year...I'm sure its the same one...at the time Adrian was having second thoughts and wanted to keep it for a bit longer...and I also found a 1 owner beetle which I decided to go for...I always wondered what happened to it!

Pretty slick mate. Is that a Golde ragtop or an aftermarket one?

Great looking Beetle. Makes me want to get a ragtop or a vert! Have fun at George's Toy shop, far too many nice things there.

I have a spare set of 14x5.5 fronts, 14x6.5 rears non chromed for early 5 stud Beetles with great tyres too. I am currently running 15x6 all round.

I like the Chrome units you have there, very bright.
