There is also a Kubelwagen in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, but it may not be on display at any particular time. They change the displays regularly and are in the middle of a major refit (particularly of the aeroplane hall).

In any case, it's a farily ratty Kubel that's missing a lot of parts. It has a nice coat of paint but that's about all. Ray's Kubel is probably the best in the country.

J in Perth is restoring a '44 Kübel (very nicely);
R in Sydney has a '44/'45 Kübel and an entertaining Schwimmer/Kombi hybrid;
G in Sydney has a '44 Kübel and a Schwimmer with 'modified' bodywork;
A in Sydney also has a Kübel and Schwimmer set;
J near Sydney is restoring a '43 Kübel (also doing a fine job);
G in Melbourne has the Feb'44 Schwimmer Geodon used to have;
Geodon we've met;
And then there's me slowly restoring a'43 Kübel that came out of the factory the day before Geodon's, on May 18. (Which I think makes mine the oldest Vw in Oz, aside from that very shiny thing in Canberra.)(Too bad mine's a piece of junk.. )
I believe there may be another Kübel in Sydney somewhere (it used to belong to J in Melbourne, who sold it to an MV enthusiast up there) and I've seen a photo of a Kübel at a Queensland meet, though I've been told that one could be a replica. And since I traced this lot having no connections in the either the VW scene or the MV community, I think it reasonable to assume that there are a good few more out there. In my work in the film/TV business I've met guys who insist that back in the Sullivans days they used to hire Kübels and Schwimmers from a guy near Albury who had "half a dozen". I find this hard to believe, but one of these guys was a VW enthusiast himself, so should have known what he was looking at.
I've made a bunch of instant enemies with that Schwimmer/Kombi crack, haven't I..?😉

Cool info,

The one in the war memorial in Canberra was brought in by the Army & sold off at auction in the late 40's or 50's ( I understand for 20 quid) It then sat at the big old wreckers in Kingaroy (QLD) for many years (in verrrrry poor shape) It was then aquired by the Govt.

Gerry, of Brisbane (who owns the handbuilt replica kubel in QLD) actually turned up one of the original doors a couple of years ago from the same yard. The yard has now been flattened & is a housing development. It had a massive selection of ex military stuff...
