I won't put up the usual workshop and spare parts manuals....but here is some intersting VW stuff.

These are technical bulletins that show how to fit accessories such as safari windows, radio, fog lamps etc.

This is a VW salesmans manual. It has all the specs of all the VW models aswell as M options and accessories, and different versions of splits like sales vans, fire engines etc.

Here is some tools and workshop equipment manuals

These early workshop bulletins make interistng reading. This from 1953 is about the unauthorised modifications to VW's.

This manual shows all the logos of the companies that supplied VW. It was to aid in the identification of the manufacturer of parts for warranty purposes.

I got this "comic book ad" a month or so ago.
I think it is pretty unique:

Sorry about the quality of the photos, I should have put them in my scanner.
The "Small Wonder" book is a first printing from 1965, signed by Heinz Nordhoff.
"how too" service book, for VW Service managers.

Cheers, Peter
