I do agree with you on that. But something could mabye of happened to the car, i remember reading of them museum cars that fell off a wagon was it?

This was a prototype and one that looked different to a normal Beetle, as said the guy that was presenting it at the time explained it as being the first prototype so it is interesting.


Wasn't there talk somewhere in this forum about a car that ended-up in Czechoslovakia ? (Tatra ?)

I seem to recall there were some rumors of the convertible being spotted in Czechoslovakia as late as the fifties (?)

For all we know it could have been a case of mistaken identity.

Amazing pic! Now wouldn't that be food for thought if that white convertible in the back was a 1965 beetle convertible as it resembles! Unfortunately, the side windows of the Karmann Kab was lifted directly from the prewar Opel super six convertible, so that is probably what the car is.

Thanks for the earlier book recommendations. The current price asked for copies of Birth of the Beetle means its out of reach for most of us, but some of the other titles are still available for sensible money.

I've recently become interested in early VWs (although I've been a Porsche nut for years) through the cars displayed in the Grand Prix museum at Donington Circuit in Leicestershire:

Are you perhaps able to read in German? The german version of Chris Barber´s book (Der Käfer: Ferdinand Porsche und die Entwicklung des Volkswagens) is in print and available for less than €35,- at the known sources.

Thanks; I've ordered a copy from Amazon.co.uk for only £20, so I hope my schoolboy German (and Google translate) will be enough!
