One shown on the adv for Corowa in Jeep Magazine, think it belongs to a chap in Adelaide, Salesman Bob will know.
There was a replica built up here (Albury) a couple of years ago, but you can tell.
Speaking of this adv. Ganmain Tony has also managed to get his truck in it, must be one of those European Blitz's.
Rich.

... this one belongs to Manfred (VW Kübelwagen Typ 82). You can ask Salesman Bob, he knows him. Pics taken at Corowa 2009. He also appears on Keefys Corowa DVD.

Greetings
Chris

Default Kubels

There is one here in W.A. that I know of, and several in the East, one in pieces waiting restoration.

This is the Kubelwagen that Wayne mentioned - a superb example of the type.
