that old Volkswagens are free advertising.

This is the effort I was actually expecting from the factory and VW has reversed it's old ways about 180 degrees (compared to what it was, say 15-20 years ago) and I have to admit that I like this better.

See (unfortunately all in German):
www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/shop/
www.volkswagen-classic.de/en/modelle/karmann-ghia-coupe-typ-34

Also a bunch of miniature models available, including a orange T34(!):

That colour is so 70s so I'd say it's not any of the original colours, what do you people think?

I'm not sure if I'm going to forgive them their old sins yet but they do try, I'm happy with that.

Go figure....

Something like a windshield or a door are difficult objects to transport.

I did try to order two. Oh well, I'll wait until the green one is released this fall.
