ABC1 Friday 9 July 2010 Collectors segment on VWs
Gotta love retirees. My father, an ABC man through and through, tipped me off that on Friday night on the Collectors program there will be a segment
on VWs.
Program site here:
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/
The precis is:
"This collection of vintage VWs is extremely rare. The 1944 military models (a Kubelwagen and a Schwimmwagen) are two of only about a dozen left in
the world. The 1954 Cabriolet is also rare, and the Kombi is the only existing example of the first series imported into Australia."
1969 Beetle - June
1974 L Bug - Gwendolyn
2002 Bora V6 4Motion - Anita

You'll notice that his image has been removed from the website. He is no longer associated with the show.

ABC Collectors show
Are they still going to broadcast this show?, heard about that Hubmueller, facts of the story are a bit hazy after all these years but apparently the
owner of the Hubmueller had ripped someone of with the purchase and was the reason not scene around.....gone to ground, like i said story was from a
while ago....could be just a nasty rumour

The guy is Ray Black from Sydney.
The Schwimmer has been in the water here in OZ but only one time as best as I know.
One Sunday morning Ray took the vehicle up to the Hawkesbury River near Windsor and went for a cruise for about 10 minutes. I still have the picture
somewhere of him cruising down the river at 8 knots. There were three of us there to witness the event.
It floated, it motored and it did not take in any water.
It still has to be one of the best Schwimmers in the world today so one would not expect it to spend alot of time in the water.
