Own several Dubbs...including a share in two Crewies, which at the mo are in the middle of total resto's.
I'll post pics if anybody's interested. ;)

They are both SA 'dust' models, fitted with 'snorkels'.

I have kept a very comprehensive record of the resto, with many photos.
Both were in 'poor' condition when purchased. Particularly the first.

Post by: VED11B on December 05, 2009, 05:02:29 PM: Being South African, they have a 'snorkel' in place of the normal grill behind the rear wheels, so as not to suck in any of the infamous SA dust.
Hence they are known as 'Dust' models, and are rare as such. :)
