with more and more interesting and appealing photos of surviving and restored cars being posted on the 'net why not post them here?

NO REPLICAS PLEASE - ie kooblekars, GP kits or later beetles painted up as afrika korps. accurate repro bodies on original running gear are accepted

This thread will cover cars made immediately post-war, say up to 1948, while under british management.


I'll kick off with this kdf

Dream Thread!

I will happily sit here and wait for updates.

So my comment isn't pointless, some photos I took a few years back during my first trip to der Fatherland. I'm glad I was shutter happy.

Here is my October-1943 Typ 82. Brought to Norway by the Wehrmacht, sold to a family at a public auction in 1946. Stayed in that same family until we found it and bought it in 2005. So - 3 owners since new. Mechanically/electrically fully restored, no surfaces touched. Matching number engine...
