This is a unique vehicle. Cabriolets were never built in Brazil.In 1994, 8 years since the last brazilian Fusca left the assembly line, former president Itamar Franco decided to relaunch the car.4 new factory cars where taken to Coach Builder Sulam to have them made convertible, using all original german kit and acessories.One of the cars was given to former President Itamar, another was given to former Autolatina president Pierre Smedt and two of them were given to Captain Rolim Amaro (founder and former president of TAM airlines), a VW enthusiast, who died in 2002 in a plane crash. One of them is now part of the Brazilian VW factory collection and this one in particular was aquired by a well known family in São Paulo.This car was also factory equipped with a 1800 cc air cooled fuel injected engine, which never came out in the standard VW Fusca.It is not just virtually new, but is also has a great performance.
