Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

2 liter engine, wood slat roof rack, folding sunroof, opening windshield. American restored. Noted when viewed 4 years ago: Quick cosmetic restoration. Filler in sills and sides, paint cracked below drivers door, overspray on window rubbers, sprung spring on drivers door handle, some window delamition, awful right door fit. Brakes, wheel bearings and electrical harness checked Dec. 99 and probably unused since. Rolf Meyer collection.

Market commentary

Bought for $41,250 at RM Monterey in 1999. It was too much then and only barely more realistic now for a cosmetically restored Kombi even with this many windows and a sunroof, particularly in light of the recent swing in the Euro $ value. A year ago it would have been an unremarkable $29,000 or so.
