Not sure what year this could be as was so dark I was lucky to get these photos. I could not see the rear but know it must be an oval. I had not realized its a Rag top nor did I see what look like semaphores ? Any ideas


Bizarre ·

Sweet.
Is it yours?

vw54 ·

Well looks like an Oval

its has elephant ear indicators and extremely rare with the sunroof that's if its a Goldie

Are you purchasing ??? you really need another project

alansvw ·

Not mine yet. I'll get back in a few weeks and get some photos of rear and inside etc. if I don't buy it I'll let others know.

vw54 ·

Take some pics around the b pillar and doors as it may be a 54 from the colour

also the sunroof front area and internal handle to see if its a Goldie roof maybe a after market

Is the car in Sydney ?? I know of only 2 other factory sunroofs in Sydney I have one a 56

Now up for auction. Prediction is for $5-$10k. I think that may be a bit conservative.

That's unreal- I was going to comment from the first pic that something was wrong. It had the wipers and interior mirror of a left hand drive car, but quite obvious the steering wheel on the right.
