Ordered 21 March 2024, the book has just arrived. And it is beautiful! Much more information than in the (also wonderful) 38/06 book, nice photographs. Also some of 30/26 and 38/06 together.
A bit of information from the book: the car is in the moment running with a 1941 engine, but an older engine is in the making.

Got my copy via USPS 4 days ago! Very cool book! I have been using Google to translate the pages. Super easy to do. Take a picture with your phone. Copy the text. Paste it into Google. It will translate it for you!!!!!

... And for all of you to know, let's write down here that the W30/26 will be available to see at:
Classic Days - Rittergut Birkhof, Korschenbroich (Germany)
1 - 3 August 2025 [ classic-days.de ]
... among many other Beetles during the "80 Jahre VW-Käfer" celebrations.
Obviously, many other VWs, as well as, an impressive array of old (and new) cars will be available there too! |
