Not to show you any disrespect, Scott, but there are any number of South Africans, including myself, who have personal experience of this guy's business ethics. He is anything but trustworthy. Ask about him here: http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/ I won't say anything more about him, and I will...

Thanks for that, Scott. :wink:

It's a reflector. These used to be a legal requirement for all SA cars.

Howzit Pine! Just found you on this forum for the first time. Care to post pics of the death of another SA westy? Perhaps in a thread on towing safety? :wink:

LOL. Actually the hall with the tiled floor that you can see in the pics IS a museum. It's a bit of a squeeze but at least it allows me to display some of my buses and my automobilia. Apart from the 59 Samba, which is due for a full restoration, the DC is the roughest of the lot, with lots of...

My 69 westy is my only baywindow bus. Here's some of the rest of my fleet: 8)

Wow! Those are amazingly detailed ... and pricey. I love the tractors too.

I picked them up a while ago (in South Arica); IIRC they were about the equivalent of 10 pounds each. Here they are on a JD catalogue: http://www.deere.com/en_INT/info_center/collection/toys4.pdf

Thanks. Yes, it's a 69 Dormobile. It belongs to a friend of mine and has just been restored.

Welcome little_green_monster. I have a 69 SO67R in South Africa. Mine is also missing the bulkhead seat and my icebox cabinet is just a shell. I've removed it from the bus as I like to keep the doorway and cargo floor clear. I don't know if RHD SO67s are rare, but all the SA westies 68-73 were...

Look what I found at my local John Deere tractor dealer: 8) Tinplate made by Kovaps in Czech, copies of German CKO toys.

Thanks all, for the great welcome. :D Clem, my bus is based on a Kombi, so no ventilation to the rear.

Hey volks After driving split buses for 17 years, my wife and I recently bought our first baywindow, a RHD 1969 SO67R westy. We bought it unseen, based on the few pics in my intro post in the General forum. We knew it had thrown a rod, so it was towed to an engine builder who came up with an...

Hi all After driving split buses for 17 years my wife and I bought our first baywindow a few weeks ago, a 1969 SO67R Westfalia. I only recently found this site after buying the new bay and I'm enjoying the forums. We met the bus for the first time when we picked it up from our engine...
