Don't feel un Australian driving your VWs today
Hi
Don't feel un-Australian today as most air cooled VWs were made in Australia by a foreign owned company, just like Ford or Holden.
We now have other companies in Australia that followed VW here like Bosch, Hella, VDO etc.
So happy Australia Day
Steve

Mine's been Australian built at least twice, once at the factory in Melbourne and once by me!
Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Dubbers!!!

actually the vw beetle was the highest Australian content car built in Australia during the 60's. It had more Australian built parts in it than the
corresponding Fords and Holdens.....
1971 karmann ghia Cabrio - Cruising
1963 beetle Sunroof - gathering dust 
1968 race beetle - twin turbo Subaru - stress relief 
1960 beetle - old school low & slow  |
