Old VW?

I would probably want it in South African spec or as close as possible.

Not being terribly learned regarding watercooled Volkswagens...why?

They continuously updated it through 2009.

My first car was an '83 1.8 GTI 5 speed and it had a few nice mods. Springs and dampers, Sachs clutch, some head work, headers and exhaust, K&N panel filter and 205/50-15s. It was quite rapid, cornered flat and gripped like Royce Gracie.

I'd never pay new GTI money for it though, not in a million years.

I've had a couple.

My old 1959 'lowlight' Karmann Ghia a.k.a The Zombie:

My old 1967 Beetle:

Lowlight Karmann Ghias are sexy cars and yours is no exception. The patina, the stance, etc. make it just a gorgeous car. You should be very proud of owning that. TBH, I'd take that over a car like a GT-R any day!

That 1959 'lowlight' Karmann Ghia a.k.a The Zombie seems to have an American license plate or am I mistaken. Maybe it's imported to the UK? He is afterall British.

I don't think you're mistaken--looks to be an old Oregon plate.
