Cool.  Reminds me of the old Kommandeurswagen, which was a 4WD Beetle from
the WWII era.  I think there are three left in the world, and one is a daily
driver.  DOH!  Another in the VW museum, not sure if there's a third.

Am I to understand that those type 2's are syncros?




when i was in Wolfsburg i saw a '78 westy syncro in their auto museum.
yep - '78..aircooled 2.0L bus westy syncro..  4WD with center driveshaft and
both diffs.  it had the full skid railing protecting the driveshaft like the
vanagon syncros do too.  i have pics somewhere..    most likely a prototype
or one-off..
