The same car is listed at autopuzzles.com, but not yet identified http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8065.0 |

It has a DDR-plate (from East Berlin), so it's probably something selfmade from there. There were a few of them in the DDR, some based on early Käfer, but some also on the Typ82 Kübelwagen. |

This one is from a collection of rare VWs. so it can be that he was only produced once or twice. |

No to see here, but other interesting pics from DDR-selfmade cars http://www2.mdr.de/sachsenspiegel/8195154.html Oh, the exhibition started just right now: http://www.sachsen-fernsehen.de/default.aspx?ID=1095&showNews=925728 -- Last edit: 2011-02-06 00:36:51 |

Oh no not this one! I've wasted too many hours trying to find an answer for this! |

At least it looks quite Rometsch-esque. |

IMHO not really convincing - Rometsch-made-cars were extremely rare and horrendous expensive handemade luxoury-cars - very unlikely, that such a car landed in the Ostzone. I'm still going for something private self-made in the DDR. |

Not to mention the Wartburg 311 windscreen |

Annother in the DDR selfmade car, a close copy of a Porsche 356. As not uncommon back then, based on a Kübelwagen [Ty82]. Link to "cgi.ebay.de" The price: |

This is a 1960's VW Karmann Ghia.....just cant pinpoint the exact year....was marketed from 1955 to 1974 |

Sorry, cmoljak, but it isn't. It just looks a bit like that. |

Well this has finally been found, information about it can be found here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8065.0 |
◊ 2011-10-16 22:47 |
ok. This should be a 1961 Wendt Wagen. Although this is a one-off and no naming convention exists for it I would list it as [marque] Wendt [model] Wagen. All information about it (in German) can be found here: |

Thanks for the informative link! But I doubt, that this car was 40 years in a "Sleepeing Beauty sleep". The steering wheel is way too new for that. |

I changed it to "Custom Made Wendt Wagen" and someone changed it again. This is a one-of, not a real make, so I do not see why not list it like other similar cases... |
