Hi All,

Was in Newcastle CBD today and saw a beautiful sea blue/blue white splitty, which is a colour match for my 1964 Karmann Ghia. It had a 2009 VW Nationals card on the windscreen. Anyone know who owns this vehicle and whether they want to sell it?

PS: Number plate was SAMBA1

Looks even better in the metal. I was driving and pulled over when I noticed it. Spent the next 10 minutes drooling over it.

That would seem a fairly obvious statement. I don't pretend to be a splitty aficionado as my interest has always been in ghias. To me the vehicle looked in pretty good nick, although I did not look inside or under the vehicle. Are you aware of any particular problem with it or were you just making a random statement?

rexy has spotted it
i think you will find the guessing game is how many windows did it have when the bus rolled off the assembly line.
