Hi Jan,
are any of your cars Right Hand Drive..??
I remember when Sweden changed over from RHD to LHD in 1967 ??? Iceland also changed over to LHD cars...
I presume there are still some old cars over there in RHD...??

cheers

You mentioned you have type 3 also. Which model do you have?
I have one, but they are quite rare in Australia.

I have the Notchback version...1500s 1965...you should see it on webbsite that i sent you before...

splitts

grey1963 ragtop and black 1956 oval,1965 rubyred

The blue TS version is almost in mint condition, and the red one is the S version..S versions are very rare in Sweden.

OMG what a collection. Looks like they're stored well. Keep them out of the cold. I had a '74 Passat 1300 2 door in about '84 and it was a great car, 'till I put it on it's roof !! Dont think we got the S over here. It's the air cooled I love still going strong. One of those type 4's would be NICE. If you want to get rid of one 😵‍💫 :-)

Fantastic collection you have there. You will be busy for many years to come working on all of these. Welcome to the site as well.

I will start to getting one of my aircooled cars ready soon and will start with my 1963 ragtop....

😎.....so you like my 1951 split bug...=)but she needs some love before she is drivebell....is that correct spelling??
I will return with more pictures this weekend of my buses...=)

Thanks for the link. It's a little hard to follow, but will give it anotter try later.
Yes the 412's are very nice, I think the best of the lot, sounds like a great find. I have the very first model, '69 model with the single head lights.
In general the two door is known as a fast back. The 4 door was a sedan and we called the varient a wagon.

You've certainly done well for 15 years collecting! Split bugs are very nice to see, especially if they are mostly original.

Hello Andy....
If you have it hard to find new head lights for your early 411 with the single headlights....i have 3 pairs of head lights for your car...N.O.S in vw box....=)
And here is a better link for you to watch the elder vw on the Swedish buy site...:

Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor,
Wow! your shed is the stuff of myth and urban legends.
What could be better than a split ragtop? Hebmuller perhaps.....just don't tell me you have one!!!

Ooohhh thanks....no sorry i dont have an Hebmuller but i realy want one but its just an dream...
They only imported 1 Hebmuller in 1949 by Scania-Vabis and nobody knows where the Hebmuller has gone...
There is only one Hebmuller here in Sweden, but its not the same that Scania-Vabis imported in 1949 this car comes from Norway and it belongs to the former chairman Per Kårsell in Swedish vw association...

Jan

Hope you like it.....i will return with some more vw pictures later im going to check out one fastback typ3 next week
And hopefully typ2 1979 deluxe with big sun roof and double sliding door...will return with pictures of the bus that i im trying to buy from an friend of mine...=)
