I like these Auto Union things, they look as though their designer saw a MK1 Cortina from every angle apart from behind, at a distance from a moving train and built a replica from memory, but in a good way!
And could it be? Is it? Yay! An actual breakdown truck.
What's the tall white thing that looks like a Taxi?
Thanks also for posting the hearse piccie. My new boss runs one as her daily transport and she's hearse mad so that should give her something to smile about.

Just take a leaf out of a certain Volvo owners book and buy it anyway. they are cheap to insure so why not

That Lancia looks both solid & original enough - if its complete its worth every bean of 2,500 Euros asking price

The first semi-auto Bug I've seen since I parted with mine years ago that looks halfway decent and it's minus an engine! Dammit that would have been worth going after if a) it had been a 1500 and b) the vendor still had its flex plate and torque converter.
My 1500 with that 2 speed (plus crawler) semi auto was ultra slow as the converter was far too big for the engine but it would pull away from rest in 2nd and I don't remember
ever using the crawler gear that was allegedly in there somewhere.
Happy times indeed, ISTR that I swapped my autobug for one of my R12 Breaks.
