This must be a pretty rare beast these days. Just seen one advertised on a local FB group. Will try and load some pictures up here - any VW classic fans fancy taking this on?

Ad text:

Selling one of my projects as needing space in yard.
its a 1968 volkswagen nova.
its a project but a fully working project.
Good points.
roof works up and down on battery
body work ok no rust as fibre class
starts and drives and stops.
Rare car.
Bad points
windscreen is cracked
rear bumper missing but not actually sure what goes there as all are different .
interior there but needs re doing
like i said its a good project and done worth a fair bit as not alot made rhd
only 458 made and its number 60 .
stamp marks to prove it.
a real head turner and not many around
was in cannon ball run 2 movie.

I don't think the advertiser is claiming it was their actual car in CBR - it definitely isn't anyway, unless it's been converted to RHD since!

That just sums up what was so right, yet so very wrong in the 70's. I always fancied one of them but being beetle based they really just sounded so wrong when running.

I believe you can fit a Subaru flat 4 into a beetle, that would perhaps give this the go to match the show......

There you go...

I remember one of these running around Swindon back when I was a schoolkid. Looked otherworldly in lime green, with an elevating roof and full of gorilla fur and shagpile! Stood out among the Vivas, Minors and Riley Elfs.

There's one on ebay now ..... unfortunately it's registered as a 72 Beetle so will need an IVA test to make it road legal
