A rare 1960 Volkswagen Kombi Samba Microbus has set what it believed to be a world record when it went under the hammer this week for an amazing $202,000.The price, paid by an unnamed telephone bidder after a relentless battle with several rivals in the auction room, was substantially more than the $135,000 paid for a hero 1969 Falcon XW GT in award-winning unrestored condition.It was also more than double the price paid for a 1968 Holden HK GTS Monaro 327 Coupe – also in unrestored condition – that sold for $96,000.
