That looks so damn nice.....

Isn't that the ex John Laws cab? Sold a few years ago when he unloaded some of his collection at auction?
I thought 61 was the only year for Aussie deliv cabs? If it's a mo-show car it could have anything on it.

Actually, after looking at the pics some more, I'll go the Lancia Stratos in the background.

Front and rear indicators? No.
Sealed beam headlamps on a 1954 Aussie delivered car? No.
Period clock? No, from the wrong period and it isn't for a VW.
2 tone paint on an oval cabriolet? Not too sure about that.
Preheater pipes on the manifold? Where are they?

And that is just from the pics......I'm sure there is more in the flesh.

Even the price is not correct! LOL

This one sold for around $20

for $45k you would think they would fix the broken interior trim on the door...

having said that i would happily drive it, just not pay for it.

byronbus · 29 Mar 2007, 9:02 pm

byronbus · 29 Mar 2007, 9:05 pm
