Theres an interesting article in issue number 181 Mar -Apr 2007 of Restored Cars magaine

It details the story of Martin & King who used to build the CKD Volkswagens into complete cars in the early days in Aussie

Only one VW pick but look at those Ovals

not one worker is wearing a safety helmet!
lucky OHS was only a glimmer in a rich man's eye back then

yeah the vw factory was in clayton. so many ovals - its a shame theyve nearly all dissapeared

that was when Australia was a British colony, not the 51st American state, and before "liability" was in the oxford dictionary.

I have my doubts that is is Australia. A few people look like they could be working, and there arent any girly posters on the wall.
