I did see one at a VW show a few years ago....
the engine sat behind the drivers seat...
so I don't think it would pass the Ocupational Health & safety rules in regard of Noise levels..... :P:P:P
But, You could adjust the distributor etc in heavy rain without getting wet.... :P:P:P
Its so ugly its cute.... and its German....

I'd seriously considerit if the vehicle was towable, but living in perth its a long way to get it transported. expecially not running/rolling

Yes,
I lot more fiddling around and maybe just too difficult
[or impossible] to get home...
I suppose most of them ended up at wreckers yards...
and they are over 50 years old....
thats a lot of time to have them disappear.....
and who keeps old trucks.... with an engine in the cabin??
Best of Luck finding one... over Your way...

Although i do need a holiday, perhaps a 'get the bastard rolling' type holiday.... how is tamworth this time of year?
Well You can leave Your sunglasses at home....
I'm about 100 kms south of Tamworth
It was around minus -1C here this morning....
that would make it about minus -3C or 4 in Tamworth...
and thats really Cold .... and its getting colder.....
cheers

Can you lower one any more than they are. Looks like the dudes at the factory already had a thing for slammed rides.

For a $1000 bucks i'd buy it, they are ugly and hot at the same time.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

mate, i dont intend to piss you off and i dont know who owns it.
but
its still only at $1225 (whats a similar 1952 xyz worth in the same cond), it is his machine, it is rare, it atlleast looks a pretty good reso prospect.
its in a shed and looks looked after so it is in waay better shape than the many classics that have returned to the earth in the "back paddock" on the prospect of a "one day" resto.
he can reserve it whatever he wants.
:thumb
spoke to the guy, and lets just say reserve is a loooooong way off
