Don`t know it. Must have been previously registered to have clocked up all those k`s / miles. Nice but too short for my legs. Sell it to the Wiggles !

Yup - I know the car - it's one that Steve Blackburn built, and by the address assume it's him that's selling it.

It's been done reasonably well, and looks pretty funky up close... even more than the photo's suggest. When I first saw it at the VW Action Day here in Brissie a few years ago, I thought it was one of those kiddy ride sorts of things, but nope - it really is a beetle that's ben cut & shut (well actually 2 beetles I think).

Funny story was that at first it still had the roof on it, but the window opening ended up being too small to climb in and out of !!!

Imagine the wheelies you could do in that!
Only $4k too.
