Yeah the yellow one is a bit far out, but it was a mobile control tower for the RAAF! so I spose it should look like that.

Did anyone else by chance see the 411 parked across the road from the RNS Hospital on the Pacific Hwy this morning at St Leonards? White with 14 inch rims with Porche hubcaps with Wolfsburg emblem. Looked like SA rego on it.
Squiz....

411s are Rare in Australia ... They were never sold here but they were sold in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand and the UK & South Africa (all RHD)..
I would love to own one... although My favorite is the 412 with 4 doors...
Ever since I saw one in Newcastle in the late 60's, I've always wanted an air cooled VW with 4 doors.... I love 'em...
It looks as though they are becoming "semi rare" !!!!! 😀😀😀😀 Lee

That Yellow ex RAAF Kombi is interesting.
I see that its approx 65 model made in Australia as the air vents to the engine are mounted up near the roofline, to stop dust entering the air cleaner, whereas the German Vents were down much lower.... down in the aussie dust !!:o
Did You know that when You take a photo of an Alien, their face always go fuzzy, just like this one has... an Alien for sure..
:alien More Aliens... they are everywhere
but mostly in Sydney..!!
