I know of a lot more than 2. There's a 54 RHD being restored in Devon, that minging rat one, that is now being restored. There's one on the samba sale section, the zwitter one, that has been about for ages, was in Volksworlds vintage mag ages ago (done high milage), and the strato silver one, and my friend Claire has a 55 on a later pan.

Actually there are 4 if you count one that's roof chopped and one which is becoming a drag car!

The 54 in Devon is not a UK car. It was sold new in Singapore.
The minging rat one is mine! (one of the 7)

and

The one on the Samba is the former Joff Taylor car (one of the 7)

However, can you confirm the others that you mention please?

The zwitter one - I'm not aware of any RHD Zwitter Cabrio's
The strato silver one - which one is this?
Claire's 55 on a later pan - the only 55 on a later pan I know of is the ex Ritchie King car (one of the 7).

The silver one is OCL730, look at the hessisch 2005 piccys on here, you'll see it lurking in the background of the picture with the 3 kabs in it. That is OG UK car, as it had one of the original dealer decals on it, as he went back and asked whilst restoring the car.

Claire and Justin own the 55 Kab, Prawnstar and Francoir van de elst on VZi, it's not the KK one, so the KK's another one.

Sorry the zwitter is a 53 black one.

Also there is a 54 in the Laurence meridith book, grey with white borders

Common as much these early RHD kabs, still wish i had one. :wink:

How's your restoration coming along?


You can never have too many accessories on your car. 🙂

Tks for the reply Andy. I think I may have found a new one to add to the list then as the 55 owned by Prawnstar and Francoir is new to me.

OCJ 730 is very well known, is one of the 7 and is Iris Blue. The same colour that my car will soon be wearing. :wink:

Still need details on the zwitter though. Mr Oakley...any comments? :?

The 54 in the Laurence Meridith book is the same one as featured in the Winter 94 issue of Classic VW's. UVT 728, last reported as being owned by Howard Chadwick but I think has since moved on to a new owner. It's not been seen for a while and it's one of the 7.

Resto's coming along nicely, pan should be painted this week, shell soon after:
