FOR US, CONDITION AND GUT FEELING ARE DECISIVE; PRICE COMES SECOND.
There is a VW Kübel that is unwelded and unrestored and still retains most of its original paint!
With such a bold claim, you would be met with resounding laughter from everyone gathered at your classic-car regulars' table at best. However, more serious consequences of such ill-considered statements can certainly be expected, right up to losing your own credibility. The more deeply someone has dealt with this subject, the more incredulous they become when confronted with the persistent claim that there is such a ´´Kübel´´, one that has not been allowed to exist in this condition for decades... and yet:
This 181 presented here really is as unwelded and unrestored as described above. It even retains most of its original paint, making it fully comparable to winning the lottery. Have some fun and try studying the few offers available and their sales descriptions, or questioning their sellers about precisely these works. At the end of this odyssey, you will find that we were right. There is currently no civilian Kübel on the market that is as original as the one we are offering.
Keyword: unique selling point. Whenever we offer a vehicle with singular qualities, we find it easier to find its new owner... even if the vehicle on offer is at the very top end of the price range due to its qualities—as surely as morning brings daylight, our offer reaches the ´´right person´´ who had hoped for exactly this ´´six´´ and whom we can make happy.
Remember! The traditional saying: ´´Buy cheap, buy twice´´ applies here more than ever and describes the situation in a sympathetically Swabian way: provided one has the necessary budget, the best available on the market may initially appear expensive when viewed in the short term, but over time it proves to be the literally more cost-effective purchase. Manageable investments, which in most cases serve more to preserve the good condition than to carry out repairs (because hardly any are needed), and—more importantly—driving pleasure and enjoyment from the very first minute of ownership, usually justify reaching deeper into one's wallet.
But back to our magnificent Kübel.
The vehicle was delivered in the wonderful Varese area and has now come to us directly from a lover and collector of classic air-cooled Wolfsburg vehicles. Consequently, this presumably irreplaceable civilian Kübelwagen never had contact with salt-laden winter roads throughout its life, nor did it ever have to endure harsh military manoeuvres on muddy training grounds, or even stand outside in the rain for years, like almost all of its counterparts.
