:lol: are you feelin ok, pics of my car gotta be a joke ?
well i got this one instead of a 52 standard which JARV brought in the end, im glad he did as i would of killed it by now using it everyday
i can't bring myself to go down the rest'o road with this for now, (as i just finished doing a 59 australian coral red bug & about to buy a 67 camper)
i just like it looking 58 years old not shiny in anyway and the smell of a old car you can't beat
still oringal paint (what's left), stock height etc.. it had a judson supercharger fitted to the engine when i brought it but i have removed this now, all i have brought is a stainless steel abarth exhaust which i like the look of and some new wheel bearings
all i know is this about my car

Chestnut Brown (Zwitter)
model 11 C VW Sedan de Luxe
produced on 4 December 1952
delivered on 8 December 1952
delivered to Scania-Vabis, Södertälje, Sweden

it was an ex rally car in europe hate to think what it has been through :lol: you can still see 43 on the bonnet when it's a sunny day
here's a pic :oops:

it's used everyday as a daily ride with help from owen's part stash :lol:

Has anyone seen this 53 zwitter project,
for sale at splitvan-ovalbug

you can just see it here, look's like it has uk plate's as well

spoke to dave about this 53
it's not on uk plate's dubrockers it came in from portugal if i remember it's may 53
all correct number's, but there's a few wrong parts like tail lights etc..he want's 5 grand
but i have not seen it in person

I agree standardsplit a split with aluminum trim does look nice, dry&heavy why be embarrassed be the pic of your car, you should be happy it's on the road. i would be very happy with that car myself (maybe respray her :d )
so has anyone seen this 53 split over at splitvan ?
is it solid or does it need a hell of alot of work if so 5 grand abit to much, but it does look a tempting buy for me
need some info before i drive over to gatwick to have a look

zippy you never know im looking for another split so play your card's right it could be yours, when i find the car im after

More pics:d

So much more interesting than restored cars:wink:

im still waiting for a price dry...

Anyone know anything about this 1950 for sale ?
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C116539/ 
or this 1952 which does not feel correct, crotch coolers where 1950 only i thought or am i wrong
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C114949/ 

crotch coolers were 51/52.

Thank you '50 Karmann the oldest i have ever had is a 1955,
i have 12k to play with and it's mad to see what you can get for this now (Not Alot)

The '52 is a fair mix of parts from '52-'53, with incorrect upholstery and door card finish.

The 1950 is what it says on the tin 😮

With your budget limit I'd be considering the '52 – and maybe an offer :wink:
