The ones I have seen in Mexico are really beat, can't say about Brazil.

Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

Everything sounds good on paper!

Someone has just acquired one in the Type 3&4 owners club in the UK and it is under going some "drastic surgery"...looks cool.

I personally prefer a more stock appearance myself, am I normal??

Exactly what i was thinking... That car in the uk site looked sooo good in it's original, unmolested state, that i was bit sorry to see it got altered (butchered in my opinion). These cars are so rare here in Europe that i would like to see one in original condition. Perhaps a Brazilia could be my next project...

Watch the Samba, they have been for sale in the U.S. several times in the last couple of years- in your neck of the woods even.

Cool that you got one.

Maybe you can get Everett to start a special Brazilia forum just for you. Wink

Congrats ! Looks super nice. I especially like them from that angle. Did you buy it in Mexico ?

I notice it has city driving lights inside of each headlight. It also has an interesting variant of te h411's from VW emblem. Segmented! I know its type 1 based, but i would really appreciate a picture underneath of the gearbox it uses. Ray

These are pics taken two days ago in Mexico, it should arrive here in a week or so. I'll post more pics then.
