An interesting topic is going on on TheSamba.com about a car found in Lithuania in the summer of 2008. Severe butchering has been done to the car although it still has some very unique details (for instance the rear decklid) which could make it a pre-war VW prototype but is it? That’s the question we all like to know. Will it be restored? Who knows… It will be a real challenge to get this car restored to its former glory. At least I’m going to follow this thread for sure and if it turns out to be a real prototype it would be the rarest find ever!

I’ve been following this thread also, it seems very strange but very exciting… if it’s real. I hope it is and it ends up in a museum.
so there is some more exciting news developing on this. more photos were taken and some visits are being made.
apparently the original colour was black and it was definitely once a VW38 proto! awesome!
Indeed awesome! I hope it will get the attention it deserves. It will need a very skilled restorer to get it back on the road again. IMHO the Grundmann family is probably the best option…
I find it hard to believe this is taking up space on this site. Every time a farmer hacks up a car, are you going to list it? Prove me wrong. PLEASE . Maybe the Manx I saw last weekend was actually a 1940 2wd fiberglass prototype for the schwimmwagen.
Tschüß.
Read the topic on TheSamba about this car, Hans? 41 pages about this butchered car. Doesn’t that says enough?
