The lady has to be turned 90 degrees to open the bonnet, or else the wings get in the way. Someone forgot to turn it back.

I know of 4 cars intact- the light blue car in Bombay, the beige one in Goa, this red one, and my now black car.



There used to be a junked red one in Delhi, PUL 7676. Im told it has been scrapped. I snapped 3 cars in Goa, but all 3 had the rear oval window cut and a large square window put in, amongst other mods. Im also told of another green original car in Goa. Bombay also has a 57 Convertible. I keep hearing legends of a Split in Goa and Assam, but nothing concrete. Someone on the forum had spoken of a red 55 oval for sale in Bangalore, I wonder if its the same car pictured in this thread. To my knowledge, My 56 was the oldest VW in India, but now I suppose the crown goes to the red 55 at Dharamsthala.

EDIT I forgot GDA 3414, the gold car in Goa.
