Caption: Back in 1980 I found this 1968 Country Buggy with 2784 miles on the clock. It had some front panel damage but no rust. I later swapped it for the type 34...... kids would laugh at me and adults asked if I built it myself! VWA denied ever making them when I wanted some history on the Type 197.

Looks in good condition...

Steve,
I dont know the car and have not seen this pic before. The car has Victorian registration and I am sure someone must know the guys standing beside the car.

Bill.

A possibility but the bearded gentleman may be a young Andrew Dodd !!

The Samba profile of ozbugster lists his location as Melbourne, and his occupation as graphic designer.
Between the pic and this info, maybe someone will have a eureka moment about his identity.

He has posted eight photos, but no text posts.
This appears to be a nice CB with hardtop and side curtains....just maybe needs some fresh paint.
Regards,
Steve
