The plywood CB project "Home Built Country Buggy" thread got me to nosing around in The Samba Gallery.
I noted CB pics taken at Rose City Bug In appear to be a CB I have knowledge of, but it original location in the Bay area of CA with CA plates and it current display of Washington State plates leave me confused and mystified.
From the new pics at the show and old pics of Erich Kircher's (deceased) KO 519, I'd swear on a bible this is the same CB.
Bill, do you have any knowledge of this CB changing hands here in the US??? Anyone else know what the deal is with this CB???

Steve,
I think this is KO 0519, the one from CA you were talking about. Maybe Wendy has moved to WA as it was only 6 weeks ago I was in email exchange with her re the CB which she was holding on to.
The gloss paint is the key here. This was originally painted in Pink when the vehicle left Australia.

Well, the two Cardinals of the Church of The Country Buggy concur, so maybe my gut observation as a lowly parishioner, might be right,
Still my main focus is: has KO 519 been sold, or has Wendy relocated?
Inquisitive types have to know these things......especially here in the US where CBs can be counted on two hands.
Cardinal Bill, you should counsel with W. Kircher....perhaps she hasn't been to confession for a while...... 😂

Guys,
Take note- the lady is Wendy and she rebuilds motors just as well as you blokes do. She pulled part the Pink Lady engine and rebuilt it whilst her husband, Erich, worked on the the panel and paint.
She owns the car and is keeping it despite losing her husband to the Big "C" some 6 or so months ago. I think she also has a very nice Split Window sunroof Beetle.
