i only know of one for sale round there

and if it is then last time i saw it (few months ago) it was very clean resto done by Dodd. i remember he wanted to paint it matt schwarz but it was too good for that. Not sure on the interior i think it may be mismatched but don't take my word for it.

had something weird going on with the flappers on it

I would go have a look for you but now i live over hour and a half away.

good luck Ben

What year ? And How much Ben?
I know of a nicely restored 1960 Mango.
It could probably be had for $7500 with a little haggling

Mango sound nice but prolly too much for her

the two cars we've missed so far were both >67 both two toned
one metallic blau with a weiss insert - cal looker-ish
and the other a factory grey with weiss insert low k's

both around the $3500ish I think? but one sold outside of ebay the other was on carsales

so that sort of thing I guess...

i might just build her something - but keen to see how good these were - looked great for the money

thanks again guys for the offers etc - what luft is all about

I know of a standard Beetle 60 something that may be for sale and he got it cheap.It already has a 2 '' CB beam in it think it may have some rust issues though ..
