[FS - VIC] 1951 Split Beetle Factory RHD
This car is mine and is in at a Shannons Auctions in Melbourne for Auction at the end of the month.
The car is to be sold unreserved but Shannons are quoting $14,000 to $18,000 which I would be happy with.
The car was sold new in South Africa I have the birth cert at Shannons. The car is a standard but has deluxe split hydraulic brakes with the short
shockers and 356 pre A wheel cylinders as they did when new.
It has been a body off repaint in the original Pearl Grey, but done in my garage so not a pro job. 16" wheels and 1953 25hp engine.
The interior is from Germany and includes original seat material, square weave carpets and deluxe wool hood lining and new oval rubber floor mats.
The car aparently has a race history in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Pretoria and still has a South African AA badge on the front bar.
The car was imported by a chap from S.A. in the early 80's as a rolling body and pan. I have had to source a myriad of parts from Europe and the USA
to get it back together.
Pictures of the finished car are on the Shannons website.

Mate rather than posting bullshit about an admin, how about contacting them. Your thread was suspended as per the rules for not having any details, it
was just a link.
Go back and read the rules
