Wow, that´s another one! I think it´s not a repro. On the bugland site they write that there were only 203 cars built. The red one in the barn has body number 400 !?!

Maybe Hessisch Oldendorf meeting 2025 Wink I know from Roland, that the owner is not in the vw scene, and he is not going to restore or sell it. His fahter drove him always to school with this car when he was young Exclamation
I wish I had a father with such a car Rolling Eyes

scam....almost 100%sure.
The car was photorgraphed in Austria secret location.
The car is advertised in Germany for the last 30 years. The phone nr and the location do not pass....way to far from each other.
End .....no response from the seller on mail , ebay and phone this weekend Cool
