WOW.... was watching that as well
Stalled early at $10k and reserve not met
Was thinking it was going to go be reserved at stoopid money (what ?? $14.5k for a fixer isnt stoopid?? 馃お )
Reckon i would be happy with that in my yard

Nice project car.
I am not sure how many '61 Cabrios were brought in by VW Australia; I had not heard a number as high as 30 before. I thought it was less than 6. Unfortunately the FCAI's sales data for that year only specify 'VW 1200' for a model, so there is no data for cabrios, if any.
Can someone else clarify? John?

i dont think so
At best what you would have seen is a chop top
the closest i have seen is a RHD 1303 cab for similar money - and these were as common as
An original RHD 61 vert - well ...... how many did you see at your last show??

sad thing is for how solid and complete it is thats not to bad a price
thats about what i was expecting it to go for
Barry, funny thing at the gold coast show last month
5 cabs and 1 choptop 馃槀 i was in shock
custom bugs never get anywhere near whats been spent on them
original stockers are the ones that hold their value

Wow, very rare. Looks like what my Dad would call 'Rommell's staff car', though perhaps a touch too 'modern' for that. 馃檪
