Meet Jan, the oldest known Beetle in South Africa.
Built in Wolfsburg and brought to our shores the very same year, he’s more than a car… he’s a piece of living history.
In 1971, a nationwide search by Volkswagen South Africa and Wheels Magazine set out to find the oldest Beetle.
Jan took the title, and his owner, Mr. David Rubin, drove away in a brand-new 1300 Beetle in exchange.
No chrome. Cable brakes. Pure, original spec.
Born on Wednesday, 14 September 1949
