Hi ,
This speaker was in my 63 ghia and as you can see the cone and outer band were detoriated.
I can't find the wright size cone to repair and I'm wondering what to do now.
I'm certainly no audio expert, so which speaker would fit to work with my bendix saphire 2?
Knowing it's a 6 V car but I don't know if 6 ,or 12V makes a differance for speakers.

Search Amazon for 5 inch, 4 ohm speakers. Your picture shows 13cm (5 inch) and 4 ohms clearly. Speakers are not rated by voltage.

Here is an example. There are many others.

Correct, want origineel zou dat vanuit Volkswagen van het merk Blaupunkt zijn geweest.

So I personally would not attempt to repair the broken one you have now. Instead look for a decent modern speaker with the exact same mounting holes size, connect the speakerwires to your old contacts for you radio, and then you have something that delivers music (and pleasure)
for years👍
