Thanks for the info guys
I was just wondering cos I've been into vw's for a long time and have never seen one.
I recon they are the hottest beetle ever built.(apart from those 4 dr german police beetles)

Was there ever any RHD Hebmullers produced?
I heard that there was one prototype, but I'm not sure if this is false information or not.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

Only ever seen pics of LHD models...
I doubt if any RHD models were made although swapping the steering on an early beetles isn't difficult...

Now worth their weight in gold.... lol

I've seen a pic of 4 door police beetle cabriolet in Europe..

I presume it was real... [looked real to me]

Hebmuller also built a few 4-door beetles,
but the Papler is better known.

At least Hebmuller does not sound like some womans medical check.

This is a cover of Australian VW Power magazine, from Dec 89/Jan 90. It describes the first Hebmuller ever brought to Australia, which was #12 as Robb mentioned.

It was purchased by Guenter Draude of Carrum, in Melbourne. He had spotted an ad for the Hebmuller in a 1983 issue of the US magazine Hemmings Motor News, but he didn't follow it up until 1988 (!). When he rang the owner in the States, amazingly he still had the car. Even more amazing, he agreed to sell the Hebmuller to Guenter for 20% less than the 1983 asking price! He shipped the VW to Australia in 1989 and it appeared in issue #6 of that magazine. Perhaps you could look in the Melbourne phone book to see if there is a G. Draude listed?

I believe Grahame Lees (former owner of Beetle Wreckers and Northshore Volkswagen in Sydney) also owned a Hebmuller once, but I don't have any details.
