"Absolutely a unique show car since 1988, it’s original and in super condition. You can probably not find a nicer car and come with lots of history."

Description

An original low mileage car 41,190 guaranteed km, in very good condition. The car was imported and registered in Sweden in 1976. It was owned by the military as a test car and it equipped with rifle mount, darker light, rear rack and side rails.
This modern successor to the legendary warrior Kübelwagen came to Pålsboda from the Volkswagen Collection in Borås in 1993; the last MOT/test was back in 1988. The car needs a service and the brake inspecting. The car is the best example we have ever seen a true show car.

Facts about the model

Liksom föregångaren från andra världskriget Kübelwagen byggde Volkswagen 181 i huvudsak på mekanik från Typ 1 men hade reduktionslåda och var lägre växlad. Själva bottenplattan hämtades från Karmann-Ghia medan den bakre ledade axeln kom från första generationen Typ 2.
Volkswagens kantiga och spartanska tvåhjulsdrivna fyrdörrars cabriolet byggdes mellan 1968 och 1983. Ursprungligen togs den fram åt den västtyska armén men såldes också civilt med olika namn som the Thing i USA och Kurierwagen i Tyskland.
Civila bilar började säljas i Europa och Mexiko 1971 och i USA året efter. Tillverkningen av civila 183 fortsatte fram till 1980 och ytterligare tre år för den militära versionen.
Bilen är mycket populär glidarbil på Kaliforninens stränder, alltjämt idag.
