It is amazing to see what absolute wrecks of early Volkswagens are restored to pristine condition. Some are "data plate restorations" like they do on WW2 aircraft as most of the missing parts are being reproduced. Even though they will never be rare cars, they still are very popular and people are willing to spend huge sums of money on them.

No doubt this Typ 51 was snapped up a rich collector. Here's hoping it gets driven frequently!
