Richard Cottons car was a 44 type 82 e and is now in USA where a hard core KDF fan is restoring it...
There is an amazing story in this months Hot VWs and dune buggy's.
After the car had changed handes from Grundmann over Richard C to the new owner, The Grundmanns found the original doors in the bassement where the previous owner in POLEN stored them???? The doors where replaced by '46 doors in the early years.
While missing the original engine the new owner scored in Hessisch Oldendorf meeting 1 enginecase out of 10 kdf engines the one and only 82e engine ( seems they are different from kubel en schwimmers)
The best part is that it is made in the same week and.....it is only 5 engine numbers away from the original engine...
