Looks like a nice car for the money from the pics. I'm surprised this hasn't been snapped up already. Same as my ex-girlfriend's Ceramic Green '60 bug! [ATTACH]2863[/Attach]

And its a UK car! :shock: I asked him a few days ago and was expecting to be told that it being an SA import was the only thing he forgot to mention! :lol: Shame about the Swedish tailights but apart from that it looks about right for a 59/60 crossover model!

Yeh, thats right. The UK lights have a 'snowflake' shaped reflector the sweedish a 'Diamond' shaped one.

i think they were only snowflakes up to 59 then the lense changed to the one on the car for the 60 model year.

My April 1960 still has the 'snowflake' pattern on the rear lenses.

Im pretty sure that for all markets other than Sweden the lenses never changed from 56-61:? May be wrong though! :lol:
