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

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  :-)
