Failure2019:
Drive this car now

People go laugh and mock you tire.


Many folks no longer drive vintage cars in Nigeria because of mockery.

Not true. Mudi the designer has a couple of vintage cars and they turn heads and attract positive attention. It all depends on how pristine and well maintained they are.

Treasure17:
It was a thing then. Sold ours in 2014

Vintage

For like how much?

Icrave4u:

sonnie10:
the car didn’t have a radiator. What did you use the cooling water for ?

Engine was air cooled, it required no radiator which is used on water cooled engines.

sonnie10:


Thise days every car had its own engine sound
Beetle sound like crickets
Peugeot sounded like a scratch on zinc roofing
Volvo sounded like a bull on rampage
Mercedes like a broken window ac unit

😁

crowther15:

Hamar and water just for the car

My principal in EHS back then, Mr. Fakayode, had one. His was always smoking and sounding like an 'I pass my neighbour' generator

McBolt:
Please , I am interested anyone with information on how to get one should please link me up!

I saw two in a car stand in Kubwa, Abuja while I was travelling to Edo State last week. If you can link up with somebody in Abuja City Centre or its environs, ask them to check the car stand immediately after the Kubwa Federal Housing Junction by the bridge.

Got my used one then for N300.00 and resold at N420.00. I was alternating fuelling between petrol and kerosene.

I remember years back at awka enugu Express road one of this car was on top speed and the engine was on fire🔥, the occupants were not even aware,it took other road users to speed off and over take them to tell them.very funny Sean that day.

We called it Motor big Belle when we were kids . Time really flies......

In Nigeria, the majority of our people place more emphasis and value on brand-new automobiles and machinery while placing less value on classic or vintage automobiles.

Only a few people even know what classic or vintage cars are. 

This old Volkswagen Beetle is considered a vintage car, so don't be surprised that a used one of this car might be more expensive than most new cars in the international market today.

A 1975 used Volkswagen Beetle might cost up to $50000 depending on the mileage, cleanliness, and condition of the car.

Our maintenance culture is bad in this part of the world.

Yes, you needed a hammer if the kick starter was starting to misbehave. Just give it a little knock and try staring it.
But if you find help, pushing is faster. Just do what was known as “push and start” but you must have it in gear 2.

This your experience is still sweeter, compare to those children who used to walk bare footed to the schools, churches and mosques. Some of us wished our fathers had such kind car back then. In short, we should those children in motor ijapa ooo

KingMack:

Octopusssy:

For real?? I haven't seen this car in Nigeria in a very long time

You mean it? I saw one in Uyo on Sunday. It is very much around.

Delightsome2023:
you sure say no be spoilt one

there's no Nigerian used car that does not have one problem... The best thing to check is the engine and gear, once these two are OK.. U can fix the other ones.. (why I said engine and gear, because they are not much in the market again.

Aka CatchFire

gboyetade:



I am interested

that was 2 years ago oo, secondly Kaduna na no go area for now..

But on my way going to Adamawa few months ago, I saw neat ones at Bauchi..

Though I didn't come down to price them... I'm sure they'll still have some, because I saw up to 7 between Bauchi and Gombe.

Iamzik:


Nice! But how will the radiator get cool air from the back....just wondering

the car's engine is the back. The front is the booth

The richest man in my area had one of this car back then.
