I think this pic was taken outside the very First AMG Shop at Alfalterbach,Germany. The guy on the far right looks to be , Hans Werner Aufrecht , the 'A' in AMG. |

Ok here is the last video, shows the turning radius ( not great ). I would start a thread but I'm not sure where to post it. I'll get a ruling and post the build.

That Goblin Works car... I laughed so hard watching that. Especially near the end when they drove it in the mud and the sides and whole interior were covered. |

Brazil did not have factory convertibles so they they were made by coachbuilders. this looks to have been done quite nicely. _________________ cars:

The price is absurd, of course. and then there are people who think everything made outside of a VW factory is an abortion, and Brazil is a country particularly guilty in this respect. In this case however I'd prefer to consider the car itself as something made to satisfy a market demand that VW wasn't keen to satisfy, just as in europe coachbuilders modified mexi beetles into convertibles through the 80's.
I'd concede that it may have a place in this topic. _________________ cars:
