Alan,
You may want to keep a check on the Samba website in the classifieds. They are always listing type 1's on there for sale within reasonable driving distance of you.
I think the website is
www.samba.net try it out and see. If that one doesn't try a search for it and see what pops up.
One word of caution though, it's addictive! Also, be careful of VW Vortex, seems that the cars on there have been or are in the process of being heavily modified and can be misrepresented, if you know what I mean.
Good luck!!
The main thing to remember; is to keep the main thing, the main thing.
