OK just wondering where the oldest VW is in Australia It can be club or non club. Running would be best or on in a shed or garage but nice Lloyd remembers a '46 beetle that used to be at Victorian events back in the 80's. Is it still around? Any idea??:sandrine

brookvale graham had a 1944 kubel (running) and some modified schwimmer. i dunno if he ever managed to sell them. he also had the 1946 bug with the shitty white paint that was bought off Captain Maurice Seddon. a proper fruit cake of a man.

How can I tell if my 57 kombi was built here or imported as a CKD.

if it was built in aus it would have a kangaroo logo on some of the parts (try looking at the wiper motor) and if it didn't it was probably a CKD (like my 56 oval)
