My newest toy.
an early october 1952 zwitter convertible.
Pretty good shape and almost all correct parts and solid condition.
The car has been repainted 3 times, first green (not the correct green), then blue and last bordeaux.
I bought the car in Januari and started to dismantle the car in february.
I will repaint the car so I can drive it this summer.
No not a body off resto becouse I want to drive this summer it and it is solid. :):):)
I will post pictures in the restoration forum. [ATTACH]1661[/Attach]

Too nice for words- good work!! I am seriously envious!
With such a nice car, my only concern would be sweat stains from that bloke's arse on the seats.
You may want to contact Kevin Maddock on this forum (user name: Nev). I think he may have a couple of Zwitter-only Kabrio parts (window frame and door, I think).
Good luck with the renovation.
Rich.

Thanks for the nice words!
I know I schould do a body of but then I couldn't drive it this summer and I realy want to drive it.
I had a 1955 cab but sold it before a bought my other project and this is a so much better car believe me.
Can't wait to drive it. :D :D

Hi Steve,
nice to hear another one who has an early zwitter vert too! :d
Some people told me that they never made front hoods with solid vw Emblems on zwitter beetles, so they are wrong :d

Hi kombi rescue,
I think that this is your nice "down under vert". https://karmann1952.de/html/register_1952_zwitter_2.html
Would be great to get a new picture for the KARMANN-Registry :wink: Body- and engine number would be also welcome...
Greetings from Germany
