I remember that car, it was restored in Wakering which is around 5 miles from KK, we supplied many parts for it.

Wolfsburg West used a great picture of the car on the front of their catalogue, it was taken before the restoration and before it came to the UK.

If I remember correctly it was featured in Volksworld, and the pictures were taken by the late Rob Miller.

...a few years ago about this car. It was a CCG of 1945 / 1946. The car was found in Athena and belongs to a member of the Onassis family. On the pictures, the car looks very good, nice and original.

The story here was that the car had been in constant use from 1945 until 1989 when it was discovered in Athens. Amazing!

There was a Kdf restored in London 5 or so years ago.
The owner was Greek,it was returned to Greece on completion.
The small picture in Volksworld was taken by someone who just happened to be driving by, when the Kdf first saw the light of day after completion,it was outside the restorers workshop.
Your memory serves you correctly Andy. 😃
