Hi everybody!

Let's talk about those über-cool tin boxes, sized to hide your beetle:The "LILIBOX GARAGE"!

A quick search on this forum meet no results. I founded a brief description in the well known book "besser fahren mit dem Volkswagen":



Any old adds founded on the web:

...and... mine :D






I discovered it in the early 90s, but it was never for sale. I had a flash last week and checked on Google Earth if it was still in place. I could not believe my eyes, the LILIBOX was not recycled as beans tin!!!

Two hours later, I was by the junkyard where it sat for the last 40 years, and surprise: the 83 years old owner was much more open as back in the days and was happy to sell it! A very cool "case" for my '52 8)

It's not so strait after all those years, but not rusted, and the mechanic works great!

On the first picture, the garage has no sliding door. Another model with wood frame?



Note the opened beetle window. Necesserly to open the garage door from the inside :idea:
