Last year, me and my father in law found an 1300L from 1969 for sale on the net...
The car was an ex-sedan, that in the begining of the 90's was cut to be a cabrio...

After finished, was driven until 1996, when was parked and sold... and since 2006 was left outside... with sun and rain...

The seller was my neighbor... Smile
And the deal was done...

Very cool! I'd be tempted to slap some fenders on it and stick a pair of weatherproof Jeep seats in it and just drive it!

This wheels have a history... Portugal before 24 of April of 1974 have a dictatorship, not a democracy. The president at the time say that all cars produced in our country must have a % of "made in Portugal" parts...
Volkswagen, Fiat, Renault... send cars on CKD kits and the seats springs, seat covers, paint, baterie, tires, windows, wiring looms... all were portuguese, like the hand work... we even have split vans, with 8 and 9 seats made here with panel vans... you can recognize them because they still have the rear louvres...

About the wheels... welll... the dictatorship ends... and Portugal was in uncertainty times... Not many complete cars come from VW in Germany... We started to import bugs from Brazil (the Fuscas and Fuscões) and also the Brazilias. To sold the cars, the portuguese VW dealer (Guerin) order a wheel to beautify the cars... Someone from the dealer (they closed doors on the 80's) said that the design was made in Portugal and the wheels in UK.

In the end, the 1303S (the super beetle with 1600cc) also have them fitted.

The wheels came in two coulors... light grey and black (were this ones have the red).

They are a litlle rare at this moment, on good shape.
