It's not every day you are offered the opportunity to drive a car, which, as far as we know, is the only one of its kind in the world. This is a 1965 VW split-window Kombi, but its riding on a Porsche 964 all-wheel-drive chassis, and hanging over the back wheels is a throaty flat-six Porsche motor.
This incredible creation is the definition of a passion-project, built over 4000 hours by some of the best Porsche mechanics in the country, at RS Autosport.
The owner of the car and owner of RS Autosport, Anton Roux, gave our video guy Ciro De Siena a tour of the car, detailing its complicated build, and kindly let him take it out for a spin.
Enjoy and let us know what you think of this special vehicle.

WOW!!! Easily, hands down the coolest Kombi conversion/resto-mod out there! I've watched dozens of videos here on the Tube of guys restoring and remotoring Kombi's. Always wondered if anyone had done one with AWD (so many Suburu converted Buses, you'd think someone would just go all the way and put power to the front end too). Have seen a few Porsche powered ones, but this one takes the cake... AWD AND a Porsche engine. Outstanding! Would love to have one, but at 4000hrs for the conversion, plus the cost of buying the AWD Porsche donor car, this is definitely one of those "deep pocket" projects. Your average Joe is not going to pull something like this off.

Problem with Cars.co.za is they do not monitor their advertisers. Go look for any second hand car dealership in central JHB that has a car with over 100,000km on it. I did report this, but I don't know what can be done. JHB dealers are turning back mileage too much. You cannot find a car in JHB with over 100,000km. 1996 Mazda 323, under 100,000. They are almost all like that. Unfortunately, this has created a untrustworthy feeling in people who browse your site. I used to include your site in my frequent searches but don't bother as one never knows who is reputable and who is not, and unfortunately, it seems that Cars.co.,za has the worst dealers and they don't care about how much mileage they turn back. While I fully understand that you have no control, please bear in mind that opposition sites seem to have their advertisers under control. I am certain more can be done. I would like to use your site again, but until such time as unscrupulous dealers are eradicated, I don't feel I can trust the content of the advertisers. Please get rid of these dodgy companies that turn back kilos to sell cars, as that brings down your reputation as well as theirs, an unfortunately, we will remember your site name, and not so much their dealers name. Unfortunately, this is what they call "death by association". Lets hope you can get rid of those dodgy dealers, and only deal with advertisers that sell legit cars. Just a note.

@@coeniethomas1887 Well, there you have answered your own question in respect of the WHO guidelines, which are just guidelines as they have no jurisdiction in the affairs of a sovereign nation like SA. You are correct that the case is being appealed but what the fake mainstream news media does not tell us because they are complicit in this crime with Government is that when a Court rules in respect of your Constitutional Rights which are being violated, the implementation of the Court's ruling is of immediate affect. They may nevertheless appeal the matter but the ruling of the Court needs to be implimented immediately.

@@coeniethomas1887 Get with the program, Covid19 is a scam. When have you ever seen the Government not involved in corruption or crime? Even the previous President of South Africa is on trial of his crimes, yet you naively want to accept everything the Government tells you without any questions. Statistical data analysis in the UK and USA shows there is no increase in the annual death rate which has remained consistent with the rate of previous years. All which they have done is play around with the figures, those who have died of heart disease or cancers etc have now been ascribed to Covid19. There is a lot more to it than merely wearing a stupid mask, it is about control. If Government can control you in the aspect of wearing a silly insignificant stupid mask, what is the next scam you will fall for. Do your own research.
