"Fast Eddie" landed a beautiful one on Ebay a number of years back. RHD 6 leg with original black Kombi upholstery if I remember correctly which I usually do.

Probably flipped in so it doesn't hit the snow.

Barndoor mirrors can fold in on their spring-loaded stalk
(In case you didn't know that)

there are 2 in the northern part of sweden, that is under restoration.
The interior picture that are linked to in page 3 :

is kind a near to hit the road. I know the owner got a rusty fold down middle seat, and much more of the OG taxi parts.
But, in case of this 2 barndoors, they are massive restoprojects, that needs much welding and much parts, so, it´s a long way to the goal of a driavble TAXI bus. :)

In sweden back in 1954 they were quite common, about 100km from stockholm there were 10 vw taxi

The taxi is pimped out - Deluxe trim, rear corner guards, etc.

That low mounted passenger mirror arm is wacky looking to me

A second picture and a caption to go with the photo above:

in the upper Right side of the above pic there is a sign. the only word of it I know is Benzin=Gasoline. Anyone translate it?

Also, below the sign is what appears to be another sign with the VW logo on it.
