Family donates 1991 Jetta to VWSA AutoPavilion

 The Bhikha family has donated a 1991 Jetta to the Volkswagen South Africa AutoPavilion and the car is the latest addition to the AutoPavilion display vehicles unveiled in celebration of 65 years of Volkswagen in South Africa.

The vehicle was purchased in 2012 and refurbished by Nitin Bhikha, a qualified engineer who also works at Volkswagen. The Bhikha family have been loyal Volkswagen fans and drivers for over 40 years and own various VW products; they still own and drive an original beetle which has been in the family for 44 years. The AutoPavilion is on weekdays from 08:30-:16:00 and every first Saturday of the month from 10:00-13:00 just as VW FactoryTours run daily.

Chairman and Managing Director of VWSA, Thomas Schaefer, who was thrilled by the kind gesture of the Bhikha family was quoted as saying : “I am touched by the generosity of the Bhikha family and their passion for our cars and our company. We are grateful to them for this donation.”
