Notes: 40K original miles with three owners, imported from Burbach Germany from second owner in Spring 2007. Built 04Sep68 & first registered on 16Sep68. Featured in Belgian VW Boxertje magazine in 2007. Its second owner, Herr Eckhardt (a 65-year old retired VW employee), bought it in 1982 from the original owner, an elderly lady who had driven it from 1968-80. He found it near Bad Camberg. Herr Eckhardt was working at the VW dealership when the first owner decided to trade her T34 in for a new VW. He grasped the opportunity to obtain a unique vehicle and instead of placing it amongst the other used vehicles at the VW dealership he decided to buy it himself. During his 25 year ownership he only used the car for pleasure drives during the weekends. It was repainted in 1982 to cover the scratches & dents from the first owner.
