SA Norwood: Just Spotted!
Dunno if this car is on here or if anyone knows about it? Parked next to it. According to badges, it's a 1300, didn't get any photos from the front
but I'm thinking something pre-72?
If it is anyones and they don't want their rego showing, I'll happily fix it accordingly.

It is a crazy looking bug, interior is absolutely immaculate!
Was very jealous when I pulled up next to it.
I spotted it the day after, going into the Coles car park in Norwood too.
Obviously he lives close to the area, might have to go hunting down the back streets for her
