My newest VW... 64 Splitty
RZEDGE - November 19th, 2012 at 08:09 PM

Some of you might have seen me banging on about bringing a splitty in from the UK, taking advantage of the strong Aussie $ and all. Well I decided to look a little closer to home - New Zealand! Our $ is super strong and let me tell you, there are bargains to be had!

I've brought a car in before from New Zealand so have already got a company lined up. Just need to ensure I get the import permit now!

Here she is!

In 1964 until the 70's it was used as an armoured security van for transporting payroll etc. Thus the closed in rear. I believe it used to have steel plating on the inside as well.

The roof still says Crown Security although I suspect it's not the original paintwork...
