I bought this little beast from Vic in Dec 06. The car is a one owner, garaged from new 75L with 117K on the clock. I flew down to Melbourne and then drove it back to Sydney.She cruised at 110KM/h all the way home averaging 7.5l per 100K's.

the paint under the guards is as good as the outside. I don't think the car has ever been on a dirt road !

You COULD do that but the car would be worth squat as is any Volksy that doesn't have the original type air cooled engine.:thumb


That is one clean car man. Nice 😵‍💫

Cheers Matt, it was hard to believe that the owner was unable to find a buyer for it in Vic...................was on the market for several months !

The owner was a 89 year old women, and she had to sell due to her "walking frame" not being able to fit in the car.

So there's still good cars out there..........I wonder if they will ever sell to the value of a GTHO !!!!
