I wouldn't say rare Marcel, but different, and thus sought after. Apparently Dave Becker was saying they were a Dealer option, and therefore
could be applied by the dealers..

Thats right, fitted by the dealer, but made in Australia for VW.
Here is a pic taken in 1959 of a set.

"someone" several months ago was trying to get an early version of a "group buy" together to get some of these made
Damned if i can remember who it was - but he was quoted like $7 or 8 hundred
Wouldnt look any good on a super - a standard only thing i think

There are two types. One as pictured above and another which runs parallel 15cm below the original strip.
I have both.

i was just flicking through the samba and saw someone in brisbane had a set advertised for US$475 or some sh!t like that.... i think he's
dream'n (double or tripple what i thought they were worth).... to be honest i really hope he doesn't get the price as i would like them to
stay affordable for us here in australia.

1958 strips
They are not that rare. There are still heaps around with them. I sold two different sets complete at the day of last year for less than $150 each(one
set has 14 pieces and the other about 10 pieces). Might go and pick up another set tomorrow for $20 if they are going for big bucks now.volma
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.

The set on the samba was mine.I have just accepted an offer of $500us shipping inc and they are going to be shipped to california on monday.i know
that that is a rediculous price but when i found out what they were supposidly worth i put them on this website and they are now sold(it took under
24hrs)i was going to put them on my bug but didnt really want to drill holes into her.if you feel so strongly about it then you should sell your set
in aus for 150au!!im sorry that i didnt offer the set on this site first but when i heard what they go for in the states i knew that nobody in aus
would pay that much for them.so sue me for being human!!!!if you can get them for 20$ a set then buy them...

Firstly id have to say that i have been looking at this website for a few years now and i have just started posting.This is a good vw website but it
will never be a great international vw website as benaton vw and a small handfull of members really do tarnish the australian vw scene by posting
arogant and plain childish views.I have imported at least 10 fold more vw parts from countries like germany,America and even englang in some cases but
do you ever hear them carrying on like a bunch of bitches day and night "people are raping our vws" or "all of our parts are being sold
overseas".Well i have news for a small handfull of you out there,the reason that the parts do get sold overseas is that overseas vw enthusiests
are willing to pay more of there hard earned dollers,and no its not a matter of there currency is better.I know people in the states that are willing
to pay 3 times what a part is worth in aus but they are also working for $7bucks an hour(min wage).So benatton and others just like you please dont
call me a sell out just because your a bunch of tight asses.Id like to finish by saying that im really getting sick of this topic and im sure that
alot of other vw enthusiests from other countries are also.And id also like to apoligise to the enthusiest on this website for being abrupt but i
think if this bizzare mentality continues australian vw enthusiest will get a rude shock in the future when they go overseas!

just think
Just think KDF you could spend that cash on some wheels etc for your ride.
OOOOOhhh thats right wheels here arn`t cheap so you`ll need that $500 to buy them and bring em into the country.
Good trade in the end hey.
Best of luck to you.
