" The Schwimmwagen
a very late modell according to its number, was bought by its last owner
in France in 1962. He sometimes used it in the lake of Geneva ( now it
is forbidden for pollution controls ) and stored it since about 1975.
The car was in rather sound condition but needed restoration: Once the
car must have suffered of an accident at the rear left hand side as the
body has been professionally welded on many places near the rear wheel.
The whole body panel above the engine was not original to the car, but
the boot was an original item.
" Otherwise it was in rather sound condition,
complete and had only supperficial rust and no filler. The engine was not
original to the car; it is a VW engine of about 1954 ( the car with imported
into Switzerland in 1963 without engine ). But all transmissions and propeller
were there and look complete and in sound condition. Exhaust, wheels and tyres
are obviously not the genuine ones. "
" The car was last used about 20 years ago. Driver's and passenger's
seats were original to the car. Some instruments of the dashboard were
missing. Hood frame is original. Windscreen- glass is missing. But
original headlamps are rear lamp are with the car. "
The restoration began in the
year 2003.
This vehicle was sold uncompleted. Please contact me if
you know where it is today.
