I know that Rev Martin Atkinson, an Army chaplin used this car and he was responsible for bringing it into the UK in 1962. I have anecdotal evidence that he used to cross check point charlie and even assisted people to cross the border by hiding them in the car.
It is 25bhp and has a full crash gearbox and cable brakes. All thats missing are the Army markings. Unfortunately the commission plate was missing when I purchased the car. I can put more restoration photos on later.

My name is Keith Vipond. I would like to introduce myself. I am a non military person. My hobby is restoring early volkswagen beetles. I apologise for not introducing myself, I thought this is what I had done earlier. I am not good with computers and rely on help from family to navigate new sites.

I have recently restored a 1952 volkswagen beetle used by the BAOR. The car was delivered to 151 Vehicle Coy at Lippstadt Germany straight from the factory. I am trying to find out what purpose these type of vehicles were used for. It was in army service from June 1952 to April 1962. Any information as regards vehicle markings would be much appricated. I have been viewing this site with great interest and find it very good
