And even a KdF will look shiney once you've give it a good polish! :lol: :beer:

Tell you what George, when you study the 50 from 3/4 rear behind, it just amazes me how perfect Steve Hudson fitted the hood. Spot on shape and not a ripple or large hood bump in sight. That man is a true artisan!

It would be very dull if we didnt all disagree and argue all the time over worthless trivia. Well thats my life theory anyway :lol:

And secretly Mr standard split knows that there is'nt a better stock home (safely out of reach of mod kids) for any car than with 50 karmann. Its the inconvenient truth. Like global warming.

Back on topic...

It looks like the '54 RHD 'vert is going to be broken for parts. Any interested parties should drop the vendor a message.

"i would only make "19k" profit..... so what i have decided to do cause i feel that there is more in there.... more like 24k.. i am going to break it.... if any of you are interested in any of the parts please get intouch....."

I guess at least it makes the remaining RHD Oval 'verts even rarer.

Oh! what a tradgedy, only a £19K profit.
He won't make anything like that if he breaks it,never mind 24K.
And it also shows he's a real enthusiast to contemplate breaking it.

Also if he thinks there is 24K in it why not advertise it for 24 instead of breaking it.
Oh! yes the answer to that question is 'cos he won't get 24K for it.
