Hi there.
For all the Heb (kn)ow(n)ers .
i have studied the beloved Hebmuller 2 seater and came to this strange thing. After I checked my list and picts of all existing Heb's ( about 115) I came up this issue....
The californian heb Nr 12 that belonged to Maurey Cole has the engine decklid with rectangular pressings where the licenceplate is mounted.
I have seen Heb nr 5 (oldest) seen picts in detail from Nr 6 and 17 and I can not see those pressings.
I have only seen those on the Heb that was used for the photoshoot way back in 49. There is a pict on the net and in the hebmuller book where you can see the pressings.
Another strange thing on this 49 photoshoot car is a painted part above the frontwindow frame in the roof.
Is there anybody out there that have seen those 2 items on another car..
For me, Heb 12 is the only one with that kin of engine lid.
And then....there is that strange bodynr...118000012 and the second "1"
was a "4" previous?? :shock:
The aufbautag bears also a strange nr. The Hebmuller nr ends with an A.
Anybody noticed this before..
You can check the picts in Colin Burnham's books aircooled VW and classic VW; due to copywright I can not place them here..
If there is somebody with an accurate heb-owner list or car list and want to share them with me you can mail me.
Thanks for the help.
