Beetles and Land Rovers in Swakopmond

For those who have followed my blog will know of the posts about Land Rovers in the Falklands or Las Malvinas and my trip through Mexico where I took a whole library of photos of Beetles. And lo and behold, there are both in Swakopmond!

The most common colour was white so it was always going to be a challenge to get another colour.

A local conversion.

A long wheel base with a roof rack.

 A short wheel based version in green with side lights for the back..

 A long wheel base version with insulated back.

 A traditional pickup version for carrying people.

 A long wheel base with side lights for the back.

 A light green version in the museum that was owned by the museums founder.

A short wheel base with side lights in the back.

 A rare coloured version of a long wheel base.

 And the most distinctive beetle in the town although I also saw a red beetle but couldn't get the camera out fast enough to take a photo.

But it wasn't the only unique and distinctive beetle in town.

 And this one had angled tyres at the back and an exposed motor.

 But pink isn't that unusual in Swakopmond.
