I've removed the picture of how I'd held it in the air, don't want to be held responsible for causing someone to get hurt!
In replacement here's a pic of some roof up action....

Does anyone know who did the conversions?
Was this a VW official conversion, or a separate company all together?

Private company...not an official conversion.

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. |

It was a dealer option, this was converted from new in 1959 before the first owner took delivery as it's a UK from new car.
It's got M code M108 - Custom Model with M951 - rear-view mirror which accounts for the two external mirrors.
There are 4 known examples of this conversion, 3 coupes and this cabrio - all original and untouched. |

Sorry - thread from the dead - but thought you might be interested in the car I recently bought - VFO 496 - one of the famous 3 + 1  :
The cab' looks beautiful by the way - very cool 
I have some correspondence from the owner of the Aero Silver car in the history file I have aquired with mine. A Mr Don Rogers from 'Rustington' - wonder if he still has it?
In a bit of a rush this morning but interested to know what information you may have on the company that did the conversion..!?
Cheers for now,
Steve (Oxford UK) |
