:drool:

Is that it...aren't you going to tell us more?

These are a set of 'blueprints' for the beetle obviously colonel Radclyffe's set

We have put these up for auction this month

https://www.classic-auctions.com/Auctions/23-10-2012-TheImperialWarMuseum-1337/VolkswagenBeetleBlueprints-35560.aspx 

Oh it's an advert...why didn't you say.

---

Sorry chap, wasn't intending to do it like that we've had these in the family for years and decided to put the to auction

Wanted to find out more about them also get some coverage for the auction

Well to be honest I think the advert pictures are poor. If you'd unfolded the blueprints and taken a few detailed shots it could have generated a bit more excitement. As they stand at the moment it's a bit like trying to display an old master with its face to the wall.

Can you tell us the story? Are you related to Colonel Charles radclyffe? Do you know where his roadster is? :thumbup:

---

Rob, He can't answer...he is looking in the garage now if the roadster starts.:omg:

I opened the ad but there is nothing to see? Only the text.:bored:

Hi rob
If only I knew where the roadster is!
Basically an old solicitor friend of my grandad gave them to my dad as payment for some work over 20 years ago
I believe he was in the navy with my grandad.
We've had them stored up for at least 20 possibly 30 years.
And debated selling them on and off for as long as I can remember I'm 34
I've finally got through to the old man and were now putting them to auction
They came with a pencil and chalk drawing by a pow. Dad was told to keep them for a rainy day
It's only cos I keep badgering him about the historical importance they may hold as the originals were believed to have been destroyed during the bombing of the factory
that he's let me do this. The REME museum are keen to display them at Arborfield
, also prototyp hamberg are interested.
I've filled some blanks in the story with hours of googling but it seems most of the info on there
Is speculative and varied too

They do belong in a museum and stay open for public viewing!
Just my 2 €cents.

And I suspect that's exactly where they will end up

I wish I had noticed this earlier.

Where did they end up?

Mike
