Best of luck with your search...

People looking for these rare cars know there not cheap! they are not going to advertise there price point, they want to neg.

We can all dream!! if you dont dream you are not alive anyway, I had a 56 RHD oval cab missing a few bits and swapped it for work done on my 356 cabrio. silly me

Check out The Samba site
Their is one in the UK and one in the USA for sale
UK is a 59 not totally original the other has had conversion
Both cool cars all depends on the need and the motivation to go through the import riggers

I find it interesting that people fell the need to pass comment about things that are not relevent to the post, it is obvious that the person who wants to purchase a early convertable already knows what it will cost, then go on to pass comment unnecessarly about him personally, see it all the time on this forum. good luck with the search and hope you find what you are after.

This 1954 Aussie delivered RHD cabrio was sold at The Classic Throttle Shop in Sydney a few years back, I remember trying to work out how to buy it but to no avail.... I think I recall the advertisement at the time said it was VW's Motor Show display vehicle for 1954/5??

Does anyone know where it ended up? It would certainly fit the bill for dubai!!

(Sorry about the photo size- straight from their website under 'Sold' cars)

Went to a machinery & truck show at Wauchope (NSW) yesterday, and lo & behold, there was a 1954 RHD factory convertible. The bloke that owns it lives nearby near Johns River - I never even knew it was there. Didn't seem like he wanted to sell it though. :-)

Nice, shame they don't know how to spell Karmann and have butchered it by removing it original tail lights

and they're not even 61 tail lights

Would the change of tail lights be because some low life are apt to removing the rarer ones?

If the tail lights were fitted straight that would be half way there, you could justify the tail light change if it was driven daily

Don't know if this is the same car but saw a 54/55 Convertible in 1987 at Wallaby Bob's pub in the Gold Coast....was talking to the owner at the time and they asked if i was interested in buying it for $7500....it had Vic registration at the time, same Grey colour but didn't have the white then....same car?

I have a 54 cabrio that has been in Oz since 1955. Was ordered via the UK by a Vic dealer for his wife, as the factory wouldn't supply them direct. Martin Fenner in the UK keeps the register of RHD Oval cabrio's. He had 14 on the register as of late last year. I am aware of 5 RHD Oval cabrio's in Australia, 2 of which I don't think are on Martins register.

I also have one of 14 or so 1961 cabrios that were the only official Karmann cabrio beetles imported into Australia for the 1961 Melbourne Motor show.

Cheers
