VW museum loses nine historic cars as carrier overturns
NINE irreplaceable historic cars, including the last Beetle built on the Volkswagen SA production line in 1978, were damaged beyond repair after a car carrier transporting them overturned while travelling from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth.

The VW and Audi vehicles were on their way back to VWSA‘s refurbished auto pavilion museum in Uitenhage.

Among them was a 2002 T3 microbus, the last of it kind to be built in Uitenhage, a 1958 Beetle, the 1978 Beetle, a 1979 Passat, a 1970 Audi 90, a 1973 Audi 100S, a 1975 Audi Coupe, and a 1959 Beetle.

VWSA communications general manager Bill Stephens said the accident happened on Tuesday morning near Albertinia as the cars were coming back from Cape Town where they had been part of a display during the VWSA 55th anniversary celebration. The cars had been displayed at the Groote Schuur Manor House where a celebratory dinner was held.

Stephens said the cars could not be replaced because each was unique in the history of VWSA, representing an exact milestone.

“This is the worst that could have happened because if they were new cars they could be replaced – we can‘t replace these ones. This is a great loss for us.”

Stephens said VWSA was going to look for similar models and restore these when found.

Over the years the company had also collected other historic cars which were stored in their warehouses, and would decide which to put in the museum in place of those destroyed.

Quel gâchis... Et les restaurer, se serait pas non plus la meilleure solution. Vu la fracassée qu'elles se sont prise... C'est plus de l'original...

C'est quelque chose qui fait vraiment très mal aux amoureux des VW.
Je pense qu'il faut également mettre à la casse le responsable de cette
catastrophe!
Souhaitons que le gouvernement de la RSA a promulgué un jour de deuil
national !!!
