This week another couple of nice items came in to our program, but we do start with a long term back order that’s finally available again.

Hella decided that one year is long enough to let wait customers and so delivered a couple of pallets late Euro headlights for over a year in back order. May sound negative, but we do appreciate very very much that Hella still wants to produce. In stock now ready for delivery!

The most original oval rag in the world?

This story starts in Amsterdam…where it ends… unbelievable but this car, an august 1955 build Oval window bug in the color of stratos silver and bought with the extra option of the sunroof, called ragtop in VW land, was bought brand new in Amsterdam, Holland. And stayed there its entire life! My friend brought it back from a covered car park, last year, where it sat under a nice layer of dust. Amsterdamned! How could that be possible?

The exact history being buried forever with its two previous owners, but thanks God they left enough “souvenirs” with this car to prove its authenticity! The first being a little notebook, from when the car was new. A little book that was hand written with all prices and extra’s paid, here we can find the exchange for whitewall tires when new… the same tires are still on the car today! Wowh! A car on first tires! And then there is also a little period picture book. Pictures from the first “outings” of this magnificent car! On some of these pictures there is some small folding chairs, where the lady of the owner take a little time to rest and to pose for the pictures. These little folding chairs are still in the front trunk today! Imagine!
