Post by: kniterider on 10 August 2004, 16:32
hey vix!!< i was scanning TheSamba.com today at air cooled stuff and in there water cooled section i cam across this:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=87769

same colour as yours innit?? dont think the white roof goes though!! yuk!!! if any of you peeps have time have a look on this yanky forum at the classified bits, for me it makes me wonder wether i should ship uk cars over there cause some water cooled stuff is fetchin silly money!!! (but some is fetchin not alot!) also for any 'aircooled' fans some of the prices over there are sooooooo cheap!!! i wonder how much to transport a car from florida?????????????

just thought id show her of some of that 'largos' yellow! or is it 'lager' yellow thats for sale in the sunny sunshine state!!

if any one can supply a 'american dollars' to 'uk pounds' conversion would be good (for either way) as im shate unless its bloody pesatas!!! lol (well i know there gone now but that was the only conversion im used too!!)

it would be interesting to see what some of these cars are selling for in the terms of good  nold english quids!!

lol

dunno mate, would beinteresting to find out the shipping costs to be honest, as some of the stuff fetches silly money over there (if uk/euro spec) and there yankee florida imports would double up if not more over here!!!

there's a nice yellow cab in the golf+ this month for sale.

those yellow cabs are getting proper common,  tis funny cos ive seen a few for sale now and quite often they say its a rare lagos yellow, people wont pay anymore for them tho, tight gits  ;) :D

  found out though that the lagos yellow was used specifically for the american market so there should be loads over there.  but apparently it wasnt popular in this country at all around the early 80s so very few were made.  shame vw didnt limit edition of them really (could have called em coco cabanana  ;D) 8)

on the import side of things its definately worth doing aircooled wise.  i reckon ur talking about a grand to ship a camper over but still lots of dollar to be made  8)  if u can expect to sell splitties on for 6 - 10k  ur absolutely laughing  ;D
