Sopru made them for Australia and sold them through dealers. I only have a photo of a later one which is different and called a "Wanderer".



I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!:lol:

Love this lowie.

I looked long and hard at it when it was being sold late last year.

Glad its gone to a good home.

Sorry - different lowie snapper head - thought it was Phat bugs 68 that went for $3k last year - different colour but exactly the same roof. Plus Phat bugs one was a microbus - so I totally confused them.....

Here are a couple of pics of my old mate Bob's high top camper unfortunately Bob and his wife are now living in "kombi heaven" but they did a lot of miles in the little girl together before they passed on.http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/lesbarlinauto/Kombi%20beetle/100_1050.jpghttp://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/lesbarlinauto/Kombi%20beetle/100_1051_2.jpg

Cool rig mate, love a good hightop!
If you could manage it I'd love to get some pictures of the roof cut and interior set up that it had in it?
This is my snapper panel

http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii528/VanDeBlauw/image_zpsde97093d.jpeg

Hoping to give it a bit of an overhaul this summer and get the interior sorted, so chasing as much inspiration as possible!
Good luck with the build!
