XXX-1.8T - July 14th, 2003 at 10:59 AM

yes it is a shame

wonder how much they go for?

also 1.6 with 34kw i thought they had more than that:alien

I think they should make the day it rolled off the line a global public holiday, so we can all go to the pub and drown our sorrows!

So has anyone looked into getting hold of one?
It would make a great addition to the collection. I doubt if you could drive it in Oz though, and quality may be a little dubious.
Maybe a group buy
I'm in!!!

Hope the quality is better than the bumper bars and stuff that you get at the moment

XXX-1.8T - July 14th, 2003 at 01:47 PM

I find it interesting how it has the Wolfsburg badge on the front - i thought the old ones had this:kiss

Love the interior reminds me of an old 911

pyr0 - July 14th, 2003 at 06:56 PM

im a bit disapointed witht he interior i would have loved to se the "original" interior and spec even if it was just 4 the last car :cry a very sad day indeed

jboy82 - July 14th, 2003 at 07:00 PM

What are you talkin bout, i reckon the interior looks mad!

Grey 57 - July 14th, 2003 at 07:54 PM

If it wasnt for the single slot CD in the dash you would think you had travelled back in time to the 70's.
Old style body, flat screen. Acres of black crackel plastic. not an air bag in sight

Bizarre - July 14th, 2003 at 08:06 PM

:mad: :mad: :mad:
Should have been a curved screen super - THE best beetle ever

Seriously - should have had a blade bumper. Would look heaps better

Awesome, even the speedo looks like the original.

It prob has power steering?? Air conditioning??

[size=5]I LOVE the dash.... and a Wolfsburg crest on the bonnet... and a special edition numbered plate on the glovebox lid... POSITIVE CAMBER rear swing axles.... Chromed handles & Bumpers... WOW !! I love it.. I presume many will become an addition to someones's VW Collection... [/size]:thumb:thumb:thumb:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

68AutoBug - July 15th, 2003 at 02:07 AM

[size=5]I thought I read some where that they were $1500 dearer than the current standard Mexican Beetle which has NO CHROME whatsoever on it, allpainted... [/size]:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

68AutoBug - July 15th, 2003 at 02:14 AM

[size5] I wonder if the chrome is all triple plated to German specs... OR to Brazillian Specs with One fuzzy chrome coating then dipping them in saltwater to have the rust built in ....[/size]:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

[size=4]I even like the steering wheel... Can anyone make out the emblem on the steering wheel ??? Doesn't look like a Wolfsburg crestetc...[/size]:thumb:thumb:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

XXX-1.8T - July 15th, 2003 at 10:01 AM

Bizarre - July 15th, 2003 at 11:12 AM

helbus - July 15th, 2003 at 08:50 PM

Very nice, but I'm sorry I could't justify $12K US on one. If I won tatts no probs, one for keeps and one for Baja. :P
