For all our military vehicle collectors:

Here we have for sale one rare vehicle in completely ORIGINAL condition.

It is the REAL Thing. A German Bundeswehr Volkswagen 181, MADE in GERMANY with documented 36.000 (thirtysixthousand) miles.

I found this treasure on my last trip to Germany. It belonged to a private collector who bought it from the Bundeswehr in 2001 with 56.000 Kilometers (34.8k miles).

Obviously he had some good connections to the barracks where it came from, because he got the original "Geraetebegleitheft" , (Maintenance Book) completely documenting the car's history, showing every service and verifying the low kilometers.

It has has a little metal flag on the front fender, and there are various military specific bags and utensils with this 181. The additional gasoline heater is also included but NOT connected.

There are also many manuals included, showing you how to operate and repair this vehicle. They are in German, so a good reason for you to brush up on your school German.....

Since this Thing came from a German area with a rather mild climate and it was not used very often, it has very little rust, mainly on one fender. There is NO rust at all in the floor boards.

Looking at the service history, it HAS to be mechanically excellent and it sure is. It starts with one turn of the key, shifts, steers and brakes perfectly and it has this wonderful healthy VW air cooled engine sound.

Engine and transmission are not leaking.

All lights work, even the tiny rear "undercover night lights". The windshield wiper has a mind of it's own and works only sometimes.

The top is still original and has one small tear. Seats are in perfect condition.

Since it is a 1974, believe it or not, it can even be registered in California, because it is smog exempt.

I will help with transportation, answer questions and send more pictures. Just let me know what you need.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.
