Volkswagen 181 Kubel Soft Top Jeep

Never heard of it but there's one in todays trader.

WTF are they?

 

Its the Yank version of the old WW2 Kubelwagen isnt it ?

 

Superden, are you feeing lazy?

 

VW 181 'Thing' - civilian version of the Kubelwagen. In America it was called the 'Thing', everyone else calls it a 'Trekker'.

A mate of my girlfriend has just bought this one:



It's SUPERB! Roll on summer with the roof down and the windscreen folded forward (like a Land Rover) - great for cruising round in! The doors lift off too, fantastic!

Oh yes, very nice

I wonder if i could pass it off as a mk1 cab to Amanda

Its in Liverpool darren, just down the road from you!!

 

is it? Wasn't aware of any round this way!

You should get one!

 

Well if it was black with big bumpers i'd snap it up.

It 1495 and you can get it on 0151 4271310 or 07763 142050, you would look so cool in it!!!!

 

very tempting, but I'm saving for one of these:





Audi 5-Pot lumps go in them quite nicely, much better than a tent at shows too! Mine's going to be a lot more 'old-skool' than that one though

 

Sounds like my dads old Moke

 

Looks like it should have an AK47 weiling arab hanging out the sunroof!!

Look cool IMO, how much can you get one of those for?
