Title: where is this car now? Post by: Fast Eddie on May 03, 2009, 21:33:50 pm found this picture whilst surfing, and remembered an article in volksworld years ago.

Title: Re: where is this car now? Post by: Russell on May 03, 2009, 22:20:42 pm yes it was, sold it on to a V8 guy as the engine was needing some attention, after which i think it was sold to a collecter in Switzerland..... but not sure if this did happen
This car is a very important part in my VW life, it was my first gasser and my last V8 gasser, althought it was a great looking car it wasnt a VW at heart and too me thats a big thing, was glad to move it on however at the time we did think about putting the body on a VW pan !!!! ;D Title: Re: where is this car now? Post by: Fast Eddie on May 03, 2009, 23:53:41 pm hopefully its still around then.

Post by: Luftkraft on May 04, 2009, 09:06:22 am cool video (hello miss hurst!), but I don't think it's the same car (different lettering, wheels, and the chassis looks a little different, too)
but the car indeed resides in Switzerland now, in a car collection Title: Re: where is this car now? Post by: Russell on May 04, 2009, 10:15:27 am good to see it again, what other stuff have they got in there collection ?
