Last week I believed that I had purchased a 6V sized, 12v dynamo, advertised on Samba https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2253111.
Since sending 270 euros to the seller via Paypal, as Goods/Service, I have heard nothing from them, and still await delivery, if it is truly to arrive. The item is still advertised on Samba, something I've e-mailed the seller about, but it remains there.
This morning I have initiated the Paypal process to get a response from the seller, with a view to getting my money back from them if nothing is forthcoming from the seller. Does anybody else have any previous experience with this seller? |

Many thanks for that information. Maybe because of the e-mail from Paypal, I've just received an e-mail from the seller to say that I shouldn't worry, and that the part is on its way, and that he forgot to delete the advert.
To maintain trust in these situations, communication plays a big part. |

| All's well that ends well, as the dynamo arrived, and looks good. Communication, communication, communication! |

The chrome accents are all very cool, but I have a zwitter and even I removed the chrome trim in the rear windows.

Chrome beams are awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've jacked up my front end so somebody could crawl under the car to see it at shows. Especially the pitman arm.

Why would you do that? Did you forget your mirrors?

Nah. No mirrors for me. Black is beautiful on the bottom of a car.

Once upon a time, over 20 years ago, that was my car. (It's in my signature.) It is by no means a perfect restoration, but it was par for the era and I enjoyed driving it. (I should add that all the metal work was done by the previous owner.)
I'm curious about a couple of comments:
| Quote: |
| The ownership can be traced back to the mid 1950's and all owners are known by name. |
That's news to me. When I bought it, in California in 1995 or 1996, there was zero history other than the fact that it was registered in Connecticut, a state which didn't issue titles in that era. That created major headaches for me to get it titled in CA. (The bill of sale called it a 1949; when I titled it they kept that date even though I showed that the chassis number indicated it was a 1950. I'm assuming it still has a 1949 title.)
| Quote: |
| The paint is recent |
Recent as in 1996. As far as the Oldbug listing had stated, it was the same paint that I had done 23 years ago. It was an admittedly cheap job, though it really did look good and a lot of people asked / complimented me about it.
Despite that, and the obviously incorrect interior (I couldn't find proper materials back then -- I got the tweed interior from Lenny Copp), it's a decent car that I really enjoyed for several years. I almost considered buying it back when it appeared on Oldbug but realistically, it's not going to happen. That was then, this is now. I'm happy with my '54.

René thanks for sharing the info about that car.
It always amazes me how many times the story about a kubel or schwimmer will change when it trades hands after a few times....pretty soon they’ll all be in “original paint with all original metal” lol. |
