Hello guys, Just back from 3 months working with a filmproduction, so it is nice having some time over for the hobby again. Thanks for sharing these pics Sigve, this is the third variation of the same chair that I have seen, I have found one where the seat is made out of leather, with the same rivets as the first one. Very nice to see this type as well, but it would be very expensive to copy it. The metal structure is exactly the same on all three types! Coming back as soon as my repros are finished! Regards / Nick...

Hi guys,
The chairs took longer time than i expected, because I thought the seewing was to be done with a special seewingmachine - but all chairs had to be sewn by hand, stitch by stitch, through three layers of kanvas, and the lady spent aprox. four hours on each seat... But - They turned out great! I have got hold of the right type of rivets from a good friend so this week the rivets will be put in place, and after that I can start deliver. I have only made a small edition of 16 chairs, and the price will be 200€ each + shipping (after all material, and other peoples work is payed I will get 25€ á chair for my own work). I will post pics later this week. If you are interested send me a P.M.
Regards / Nick...

Hi Paul,
Thanks for clearing out the Schwimmwagen pic, that make scence. Also interesting to hear of the "return to factory" program, then a lot of repairs made does not have to be done after the war, and it explains for instance, why an early Kübel might have later manufactured original parts welded - I guess they used what they had in stock - so it could be delivered back in service immedietly. I have to say this - my postings here are based on my personal research and some common scence - trying to get a discussion started - because this is a very interesting subject. I mean if all restorers paint their vehicles in late camo - then we are re-writing history a bit, in 50 years when we are gone, people are going to believe that is the only right camo. Like to read more postings from you Paul. Regards / Nick...

Another strange thing is all variations found on surviving Kübels. People have been discussing why some early cars have factory made parts from a later production type installed, often saying it is done after the war and stating it is not original - but I don´t agree. My theory is the only real proof I have found so far - original pics. If you look at the pic below from mounting 166:s at Porsche in Stuttgart there is clearly three used Kübels, one with reg. plate, and in rough painting - and a Kübel chassi - waiting for maintenance. The other pic is from Wolfsburg may 1945 and is showing two early and two late manufacturerd Kübels, and my guess is they also have been transported back to Wolfsburg for repairs. I cant see any other explonation why these very early Kübels is in the factory as late as 1945. (166 pic from "VW Kübel und Schwimmwagen"/Waffen Arsenal - Wolfsburg pic from "Der VW Kübelwagen typ 82" by J.Piekalkiewicz). Regards / Nick...

Hello,
The Kübel came in a variety of versions for different purposes, so all cars didnt have the four carbine holders. Out of my memory I think the three seat funkwagen had a holder for two carbines - but will have to check it up.

Hello C, This is very interesting info indeed. My chassi (2-037687) was manufactured in may 1944 according to documentation. But when I stripped it down and cleaned it up I realized the original color on the front end was Dunkelgrau (RAL 7021). When I studied it more closely I say the whole chassi have been painted in this color - but the front was best protected from weather and rust and therefore the color was still in good condition. I have been discussing this with "experts" for years now - but they just state - 1943 = sandgelb. Your new information spread some light over my chassi and years of wondering. Thanks Nick...

Hi C.
This was a really nice pic - thanks for sharing! Pics tells you more than a thousand words (old saying) and here you can see the brassmetal stencils for the numbers, and painting numberplate on the rear locker with the Notek still attached - great!
Regards / Nick...
