Hey! Just thought we ought to start a trend by fitting a really old accessory to our cars to create a bit of a buzz about it.

Here's mine...I own the world's oldest Karmann Ghia...pre-dates the '53 prototype by 5 years.:smile:

People are trying to dupe money from unsuspecting buyers - they should make it clear what the real year of the car is.

Having said that, the DVLA do date an imported old car by the chassis number.

I think that this car was at VW Action 76 or 77 in Stafford.

You're right, Rudolf !
Some of my old photos Rob has posted today include two views of the car - "General Chat - Some Old VW Show photos" at Action 1976 at Stafford. - John Jollychuffy

He's still not sold it, so its clearly a 1950's body. No gullible persons have been drawn in.

Otto's name is 'Vintage VW', a long-standing VW enthusiast going back to before just about anyone alive today.

I agree, his advert is rather misleading. I had more respect for him, so I'm a little disappointed.

I heard no more from him.
