Noticed a few pics of Kombis while looking through forum.
Perth Western Australia has one of the best range of Splitties.

Always had a soft spot for those as my grandparents had a camper version in the mid 60's.
Thanks for posting! Very Happy

Very smart but why do so many owners lower the suspension and fit different wheels?

It seems mainly Splitties here that get lowered-very rare to see Bay models.
Ours have always been standard as we go camping and enjoy offroad and tracks.

It has always amazed me how the VW split screen & indeed the bay window bus has evolved through time. I passed my test in a 1962 devon splittie back in 1972, they certainly have an endearing charm.

I am not a fan of them being lowered etc but at the end of the day the only reason they have kept so popular & so many have survived is because the young generationss through the dacades love em.

The down side (unless you own one Smile ) to that is that because of the demand for them it has banged up the price you have to pay for one.

So thanks for posting Brookie, great to see.
