Apart from that, a lovely car

Yes you are correct Haritji.Actually the ""D "" stands for ""DEUTSCHLAND"" which is GERMANY. The plaque in this car is actually a repro one.Original one is made by WEGU and comes in two variants the lighted D badge and the ordinary D plate.

This car has already been featured many times in the forum and if i am not mistaken this is an old photo of the bug.This car is a regular fixture in all the cars shows in the city.The restoration of this car was elaborately described in the magazine ''fast track.'' It was mentioned the engine was changed from 1200 to a 1500cc one imported from south africa. It used to be in a house behind Marikar Motors,statue

Nice red VW.
The only thing as has been mentioned in the thread is that the D for Deutschland has to be mounted at the rear and not in front.
