It sounds like the same guy who was offering the "elephant-Rometsch", found in Poland, the type 82, the danish 1952 Karmann Convertible... Stupid guys are sometimes bory.

Is there going to video about the history and details of the car or just cinematic drama followed with music? The mystery continues

There will definately a futire video of the car. Maybe when it got its first wash. Untill now, it is collected and only put into the storage racks as other projects had to go first.

The car was originally delivered to Gendamerie Graz. Later it was used by the volunteer Fire Brigade in Purgstall/Erlauf. Thats when it was painted red. The original color underneath the red is dark grey.

The previous owners family had the car since 1952 and arount 40 years ago they put it in their barn high above the ground.

Best
Patrick
