Comments of this past auction
Genau. Der Vorbesitzer hatte Brezelfenster eingebaut, aber ohne Originalfenster von VW zu benutzen. Diese waren vom spanischen TÜV zugelassen worden. Für den deutschen TÜV habe ich es wieder in den Originalzustand dieses Baujahrs zurück bauen lassen.
Noch eine Frage: Was sind verbaute Brezelfenster die gegen neue VW Fenster getauscht wurden für den TÜV? Brezelfenster bezeichnet beim Käfer die bis März 1953 eingebaute geteilte Heckscheibe
Einen 1,3 Liter Motor mit 32 PS hat es nie gegeben. 1,2 Liter mit 34 oder 1,3 Liter mit 40 PS
Da hat sich ein Fehlerteufel eingeschlichen. Ganz oben steht es richtig und weiter unten falsch. Danke! Ich schaue das es geändert wird.
