I am really interested in getting myself a type 1 beetle. I would prefer a lat 60's model but would really take anything...(as long as it is cheap and runs). However, it seems all of the ones available are all the way down in the Brisbane area and I will be up in Townsville. Does anyone know of a good place or website to look for beetles in that area? Also, I won't be moving to Australia until July...I'm just trying to be prepared.
Thanks

Hmm... no Townsville specific sites that I know of, but one of the guys from here - Taz Devil - is in the midst of moving up to Townsville... maybe worth your while to shoot him a PM.

yes i saw that groovy, and i would be interested if it is still available in July. Is it reliable, or is it more of a project car to work on?

Thanks Sides, I will probably look into that once I reach the 5 post-PM limit.
