imatt88 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Hey all, Found this in my travels today. The owner was kind enough to let me get pics. I'm guessing by the split window, its pre-1953, but I don't know if the military markings are legit or not; Come to find out, the owner uses it in WW II reenactments...Way cool tho, I would love to own this..

Atmobil Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Cool looking bug but I doubt that it is really a wartime bug. It is probably quite old and as you say pre 53.If you have a lot of time: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=340552&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What an awesome old bug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFMgarage Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't know if anyone really cares, but:The "Zsuzsi" writing is Hungarian (which is my native tongue, even though I moved to the US as a little kid), which means "Susie" but the rest of the writings on it are German, which I do not speak but I do know a lot of words and "Nutzlast" means "Payload" and I think "Leergew" is curb weight?So...I'd assume that, even though this doesn't look like a military bug, I think it was used to move between the two countries...which is pretty cool.

DrDevil72 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I actually know this vehicle (used to WWII Reenact a few years ago) as far as wartime bugs please feel free to ask. And to my Magyar friend, a lot of German WWII vehicles used Hungarian nicknames and phrases. Anyhow sorry folks for being a know-it-all.

stavanzer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I like the Wehrmacht Lic plate in the front. If it were Luftwaffe it would read WL as the first letters. It looks old, but I agree that it's not THAT old. Nice looking bug though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
