Thank you all for your interest, the mystery appears with the two that were evaluated by the Australian, one I know ended up in Tasmania but now both seem to have vanished.

Have great interest in both the Kubel and swimming wagons but the later are bringing good money, the highest price paid for one recently is $235,000.

Kubels appear much lower but both are now getting very low as far as stocks are concerned. The Kubel has the advantage that parts are mory easy to obtain.

Any way thank you all for posting and especially lovely Jan it is great to see a lady amongst us.

Regards

Col

There is a replica in Brisbane. It was built a long time ago with plans posted from Germany. Built on a beatle chassis of course.
Cheers
