Björn It's a fantastic piece of work!!! You need to park it into the area where that orange vert is then send me the vert so I can store it for you at no charge!

Beautiful job on this project.
Any pix of the engine and the dual carb system? What did you do for the manifolds?
I need to build a dual carb system for the Radclyff copy.

Ahh, very nice. The "Mystery KDF" speedometer is a very nice touch, suits it well.
I remember it came up this year, wasn't the verdict that it's probably an MB Tach from the 40s? Do you have the date it's from, if it was stamped?
Beautiful car and collection, Christian. _________________ 1967 Squareback |

Hi,
this is no speedometer - this is a VDO r.p.m. counter

My mistake - that's what I meant to type.
Do you know the origin or date produced? It's a very nice piece. _________________ 1967 Squareback |

bjorn, pics are down.
this is def one of the sickest cars to be kept alive. i love the exhaust setup on the KDF motor. BUT, all in all, i want to know, how in the hell did they connect that aircraft motor to a VW trans, that is sick. those guys had some getRdun ingenuity back then. i wanna know how much power that particular aircraft engine made, sheesh if it broke the trans. had to have at least 100 maybe more. imagine driving it with the aircraft motor before the trans would brake, wooooowee what a ride. hehe
