...so you're gonna make a Kombi of it?? you know if it was delivered as a Kombi and converted by Miesen later, or did it come from Miesen as a new car?? and was it delivered to Portugal in '51 allready? ... even if it was an ambulance from when it was new, it left the factory as a normal bus, and Miesen did the conversion, so it's up to you to choose  keep posting picture from the resto - progress, ok?? good luck!! ...und vielleicht im nächsten Jahr wieder ein schönen "neuen" '51er Bulli an der Autobahn!! SCHÖN!! |

Hi ambu55
From what I gather the Miesen rolled off the production line as a grey kombi on 16th January 1951 and went straight to Miesen for a makeover, It was signed off by VW as there ambulance option of the time on 13th March 1951 and sent to Portugal. Not much known after that |

Thanks for this info Ian, good to know this! I saw your picture recently, where your '51 was on a German trailer, so I knew you sold it ...looking forward to see it on the road again! |

damn that bus is early.. And not in horrible shape considering.. I can tell you first hand, with Gerons help, you will have that bus looking so good and crispy in no time at all.. it's so nice to have the right metal available to us, Thanks again Gerson..
Stay on it every free moment you have, and your dream will soon be reality. Good luck!

Man, this thing is a beauty!
As is just about every bus, but this one just has that charm we all love about an oldie.
Hey, I just noticed it's missing the headlights. Is that street legal?
I don't think you should drive it until after you get those replaced,
you wouldn't want to get a ticket, would you? |
