split window beetle in Adelaide

noodle bar Unley. Cool number plates too VW:1951. Anyone know the story of this car?

Now that IS rare as.....
Imagine leaving it parked on the street at night...
think of all those tilt tray trucks with winches...
It must have been street rego... Not club rego....
Rare again..... just think driving a car in the streets at night in a car with cable brakes.... YIKES...
Some people drive on the edge.....

Certainly not something you would drive up the street to pick up your dim sims, maybe he was on way home from a club outing, had club stickers on
window.

that's Barry Lord's car.
it's a '51 that he imported himself from Rhodesia.
he drives ir regularly, and it's a lovely car to drive, I've been lucky enough to have had the pleasure.
