nice i believe thats a fleetline very rare i think camper and bus did a feature on on last year, super rare

In 1976 VWSA replaced the Fleetline at the bottom of its bus range with the later Brazilian bay/split hybrid, known as "1600" or "Brasilia". These were assembled and sold in South Africa from 1976-1978. They were technically and mechanically the same, except they had the 1972-1978 rear lights and a bay window front attached to the original splittie rear body. They had reduction gearbox transmissions, but with double-jointed axles, and universal joints instead of CVs
 
Not rare at all, theres loads of them in SA.

They were a way of using up bits left from CKD kits that went to SA from Germany, quite frankly they pig ugly and not worth anywhere near a bay or a split and difficult to source bits for.
