1961 Split in local garage.

I dropped into my local garage to p-p-p-p-pickup my passat (new brakes and pipes all round, steering C joints, upper control arms, tyres, locking wheel nuts, drives like a new car now :) Every time I've been down there he's had a type 2 in there of one sort or another, but this one was special... thought I would post a pic as it's a rare beast in deed!




But.... is it original? right hand drive?!?!? in the UK?!?!? Must be an import!

Reckon I'll trust him to rebuild the front beam on my bay, seeing as he started working on them when he was 16!
