Hello !
The Schwimmwagen Registry welcomes its 150th entry.
:arrow: http://www.vw166.com/registry
It was found recently in a forest in Sweden. Notice the original colour and the red-white-red flag on the side of the vehicle. :shock:
Here's a picture:
If you know of any Schwimmwagens which are not shown in my registry please do let me know. Thanks to all of you for your help in the past! |

Wow!
What a find and in Sweden too!!! It has to be a very exciting story behind this because there should not be any Schwimmwagens in Sweden I guess.
Would love to hear more about it! |

This Schwimmer was found recently, it was left there years ago. First they wanted to make a trailer out of it.
Hopefully, you'll find more information about its restoration on vw166.com in the future.
For some other founds see:
