Hi
I spoke to the owner at the nationals years ago...
He was selling it...

It belonged to His mother [from memory]
was sold new in Sydney,

it was going somewhere else maybe new Zealand.. was taken off a boat, for some reason and sold here..



he didn't know it was rare until he was pulled up by the police for going thru a red light... and the Policeman said it wasn't a 68 model... or if it was, it was made to look like an early model... He knew the car was the same as His mother had bought it new.. [or grand mother???]

the fellow who inherited it had restored it back to original..
as I asked about the white painted 1/4 windows and front blinkers.. he said that is what they were before He repainted them..

cheers

PS: I presume its the same car.. lol ..
I think it was sold by Lanock motors??

what makes it rare????

Hi

They were never sold here.

They have a basically a 1500 body with early stainless blade bumpers and being a povo pack model it would only has a hood lining in the middle of the roof and not down the sides on the body, no horn rim only a button etc.

Just lots of little unique features, they had a different steering wheel, it's a baywindow kombi one but Beetle sized, instead of carpet it had that cardboard boot liner material with the square weave pattern on it, late headlights but early horn grilles, 6 volt, no fuel gauge, etc etc.

THere was 71 1200 getting around here but now rusting out in a mates backyard, no one knew it was anything special, just another old VW.
