Things everywhere!!

In the 80’s, they were the only rental cars on the island. Many fond memories of long cruises, in perfect weather around the place.

I assume that most rusted away, broke down, or suffered irreparable accident damage, and were replaced with (small) Suzuki Jimneys & (larger) Toyota Kijangs.

The ones left today, are owned and maintained by VW fanatics, and can be hired with driver, for tours.

Very sad end to a cool looking bug on “Highway Patrol”…….

Look what I found today. 

Going to knock on the door and see if it’s for sale. 

If it’s complete I am going to have to think hard about what to do. 

I had one offered to me about 20 years ago and had to pass on it. 

   

Anyone else know what it is?

Desirable !
……dig the number plate 
Quick check shows that plate is now on a 2021 Ford Ranger…..

[Grantus]

I’ll take a guess at a VW Dannenhauer perhaps? 

[Barry]

It’s an Ascort TSV 1300

One of 19 produced

It looks real complete 
Need to find out if it still has the Orkrasa motor
