at first from what I was told when bying car it stood for a long time in barn
and even thou they managed to repair both sills by period favourite rivetting style specially in austria and there are some bumps and car was involved in some kind of accident .. which can be seen in front ... steering with all original joints works perfect without nearly no play and transmition shifiting work smothly ..thats why I think I was the first one to overturn counter on spedometer completely to zeros 
so not extremly low milleage but according to age low milleage for sure ... |

black logos on both sides ... J.SCHAUER MUNCHENDORF/WIEN
some company in MUNCHENDORF near Wienna ..will try to find out ..
faded rest of white logo on drivers side front doors ..another " company " not complete ...far to cool compared to logos on some buses ..but better than nothing
yellow stripes on rear sides ..some fluorescent color ..can be taken away safely but I decided to leave them there because of security reasons they were put on car ... I put FREE TIBET stickers on them ..
unfortunately somebody changed rear light and made bigger holes ..will put back correct taillights later ... |
