Rough but running 67 1300 Bug in zenith blue...spotted at Peshawar More, G-9/4

Treat for the eyes: 63 Deluxe Bug, fresh import from Mardan. Spotted at G-8. Somewhat cheesy paint and non original interior spoil it a little, but at least there's another oldie on ISB roads...

Salaams everyone, I am new here at PakWheels and I am all in love with the VW Beetle/foxy. As I have just entered into the professional life, I have decided that the first ride of my very own is gona be this beauty. For that I am in contact with a PakWheeler who owns a workshop in Lahore, he is going to help me with buying and restorin it. Though I am looking to stay in contact with all you VW fans out there and looking forward to the new friendships here on PakWheels.

By the way, to introduce myself, I am Farhan Janjua, and I am 20, the name might sound a little familiar to some of you coz I am 'a bit' famous Well, I am a graphic designer, writer, and a journalist. I own Aarpix.com, Pakistan's 1st e-Magazine website. I got lot lot of things to say in introduction but I am gonna summarize it now, will tell you guys more later.

........ once upon a time, many moons ago, there was a bug meet at Karachi .... sadly Camera weren't invented by then OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD SOME PICTURES OF THE MEET :mad:

Storm (Storm) 2010-02-27 17:06:22 +0500 #4411

LOL!! even i've been waiting for pics,.. it seems they are all ashamed of their cars or something...

devilzpassion (devilzpassion) 2010-02-27 19:38:00 +0500 #4412

since i did not take many pictures, i was actually waiting for others to start posting... now, seeing that no one else is planning to volunteer, i guess you people will have to make do with pictures of the 66 Bug that came to the g2g... these are the only pics that i have, cuz my phone gave up on me at that very moment, and even though asad bhai asked to cover all the cars, i couldnt (curse my phone)!!!

Storm (Storm) 2010-02-27 19:41:24 +0500 #4413

^i knew if we nagged enough we'd get some pics,...

it also looks to me like this 66 is a deluxe and has been with the owner for some time now and he/she has been travelling abroad from time to time and collecting goodies for it. no doubt that is a beauty and i hope someone else took pics as well as after seeing this car i'm hungry for more hidden treasures from KHI...

devilzpassion (devilzpassion) 2010-02-27 19:42:53 +0500 #4414

it wasnt about the nagging... i was procrastinating a bit myself... waiting for others to post...

MSKhan18 (MSKhan18) 2010-02-28 13:51:39 +0500 #4415

nice beetle ..... PRD ??? weren't those plates replaced a while ago with the new plates?

Does anyone know the procedure to keep the original plates (is it possible at all)? My Beetle's got its original plates and complete record and I'd like to preserve it (not make photocopies of the records - thats just not the same). Is there any sane person in the registration office who had the foresight of suggesting antique car plates ????? (thats a long shot I know).

Dear Devil's Passion, since ur the devil here, can u ask the other club members to stop procrastinating and post the pics already?

devilzpassion (devilzpassion) 2010-02-28 17:10:53 +0500 #4416

dear khan sahab, there were only two photographers, if i can recall correctly... one was me... dunno the other guy, but he came in a nice 74 and looked like a professional photographer, with a huge a** SLR (the works)... will check if asad bhai can get em from of him!!!

MSKhan18 (MSKhan18) 2010-02-28 22:20:07 +0500 #4417

I hope it was a working SLR and not a project one!!!

devilzpassion (devilzpassion) 2010-03-01 02:43:32 +0500 #4418

^^ oh it was a working one alright...

70-71 1200 Economy Bug (LHD) - Peshawar
69-70 Bug in yellow. RHD, but looks to be a US specification car: bumpers with overriders, high-back seats and tail lights with side reflectors...possibly a conversion. Interesting (Isb)
Two-tone 63-64 Deluxe Bug. Pretty sure it's a 64, but sports earlier turn signals (Isb). Anyone know anything about this car (RIC 7373)?
