Caught in a weak moment with another long-distance purchase. Previously unnamed, now ‘Dirty Gertie’, the previous owner bought this as a non-VW guy, put a lot of work into it with Australian VW Performance Centre, and has enjoyed it over the years. Started life as a 2-seater, CJ engine, unknown if original…VW birth certificate didn’t say. Sold as he is selling up his large property and kids couldn’t drive stick. Always in a shed and never driven in rain since the resto. It’s been moved to NSW where it needs to be re-registered (added seats ok in Vic; NSW needs some certification). Will be a while before I get to drive it, but looking forward to getting home to give it a squirt. It may get the Ronal R9s added that are saved from the T3 DoKa build. Not period-correct but would look sweet. But…nice as it is too!

Lot of money been spent on that interior.
But can I ask, where is the latch for the folding middle seat?

Honestly cannot tell you about the latch as I haven’t seen it in person, only by video and via photos. I have seen it down though in a pic.
