boersch - April 21st, 2005 at 08:07 PM

is it original or a replica?


Grock - April 21st, 2005 at 08:37 PM

not a fan, but whatever rocks your boat i guess

Some of the photoshopping is good but some is too much of a give-away.

The reflection isn't reverrsed and it says STRAP ON not Snap On

Looks like a beetle / renault / Bugeye sprite with the lights....
Using a VW beam in the front by the look of it.
Kinda funky but can stay in the show room for my liking.

Yeah good job on the photoshop Matt. Even down to the pinstriping. Need to find out what it is....Citroen, Renault? Nice buggy out the back too....

Look like a prototype 3, one of the first protos made in 1935, before the type 30 of 1937, of which all 30 were destroyed after testing.
If thats original that's unreal, if its not, its still unreal.

VWFOOL - April 22nd, 2005 at 01:45 PM

is there a kit out there u can buy?


Doug Sweetman - April 22nd, 2005 at 01:47 PM

I've got a funny feeling this one was coachbuilt by volkswagen for their museum ? could be wrong but I think it was in VW trends a coupla years back


h - April 22nd, 2005 at 01:51 PM

wot tha!


baybuscamperkid - April 22nd, 2005 at 04:41 PM

yeah, saw a while back a company over seas is making replicas, that is the first prototype i think. based on original designs and photos.


Doug Sweetman - April 22nd, 2005 at 05:16 PM

would turn a few heads wouldnt it ?


Mr Bubble Head - April 24th, 2005 at 11:55 PM

From memory Vw comissioned this to be built in 2001 as all of the other prototypes were distroyed back in the day. They had a hole missing in the evolution of the beetle so they had this build but a coach builder, all they had was a few photos of the original cars. The bonnet screw downs were even reproduced. The paint colour was a total mistry as there was no records of it either and all they had was black and white photos to go on.

bajachris88 - April 25th, 2005 at 06:54 PM

That looks crazy.


Pete_McC - May 16th, 2005 at 09:02 PM

Mr Bubble Head got it in one, that's the replica Prototype that now resides in the Wolfsburg Museum, cost VW a clean fortune to get it made. It made a special appearance in March at the Volksworld Show in England.
Looks damn cool with the wheels and pinstripes though, pity there's no kit available... then again maybe it's just as well :D

It;s a VW-built exact-as-possible replica of the prototypes


kombibob - May 16th, 2005 at 10:01 PM

hope this comes out alright


Octa - May 17th, 2005 at 02:32 PM

I like it with the bog wheels. something out of the "Monsters" or the "Adams" TV show.
