I didn't see any there in the morning (I left early). It's been a long time since I've seen on up close in person. I saw a nose that might have been one, but when I walked the aisle, it became clear it was the front of a Brasilia, not a T4.

It was eithr the Brasilia or the 411 wagon. I took the Brasilia.

That's the Brasilia, with the (copy of the) original window sticker.

Along with your other thread, I got it... you have both. Bring the 4 next time!
(but the B was real cool to see in person!)

No one else has a 4 in the Classic?

This year, I was the only type 4. I took my '72 411. The Event Staff, parked me with the type 3's.

Last weekend I went to Budel, the largest aircooled VW show in Europe, and we were with 2 type 4's... :cry:
(but I know someone with a type 4 was on the camping)

And we we're also parked between the type 3's...

It bugs me that the type 4's are lumped in with the cheezy 8) type 3's..... :D ....Ray

vonkr (if, indeed, that's your real name--heh heh),
I note that yours has the, what appears to be, U.S. spec. sealed beam headlights. I've seen photos of the European 411 with covered headlamps. What gives?

Those were '69 only.

Aahh. They look much more aerodynamic (the covered lamps).
