Who’s Playing These Games?

A while back I came across an ultra rare KdF board game on eBay ( 1 2 3 4 5 ). Never saw it before. I placed a maximum bid of € 1000 on it. Yes, I know, it’s a lot of money for ‘just’ a board game but when was the last time you played this game?  My guess was that it wouldn’t be enough to become the lucky winner as eBay is full of vintage VW collectors. I waited and waited, 1 minute before the end of the auction. Still the highest bidder. Would it be mine after all? 10 Seconds before the end of the auction… Exciting, isn’t it? Just check the result in this picture. Is it worth that kind of money? Well, that’s up for discussion…

Heb 201 Still For Sale!

2009 was a great Hebmüller year! Some nice examples came up for sale. This one is still for sale (1 2 3 4). If I’m not mistaken the seller bought another Hebmüller that was offered on TheSamba a while ago so he decided to sell this one. It needs some metal work as previous owners installed a Karmann Ghia dashboard somewhere in the mid ’70s. It also has an incorrect pan, engine and gearbox. These are from 1957. The good part is that this car will be delivered with the correct parts, like a standard pan complete with axles, wheel drums and gearbox, a 25 hp engine, new chromed bumpers and guards, windows and new wooden rear window frame, original 1949 tail lights, original rear fenders and many more… Still for sale for € 62500…
