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?? )

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?

im sure john will even be able to tell you their colour .

is this actually worth it???

ive seen full custom resto's with all the bells and whistles for half that

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 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.

I've got one of the other 29 cars! Its a 61 model was originally Beryl Green

Chassis Number:- 3558067 of anyone is collecting them

are they NOS hotwires on that car?

Pete.

Yes they are NOS 1961 Melbourne Motor Show specials. They are now in the Sims museum of recycling alongside the Porerra kit and some other great Aussie VW additions

sims, what a blessing they are.

hang on, you could sold them on ebay. I'm sure they're very RARE (not)!
