Dammit, soon as I’d posted the ruddy thing it clicked. Even more apologies for calling him “McCallum!”

Yes, sir, Made at Karmann in Osnabrück. Mea culpa.

If anyone’s interested, there is a huge background story to this personal car of Ian’s. He’s unique. There’s plenty of profiles and video around on his collection and car history.

Love that. I’m not up on the prices but that seems cheap.

No worries . My user name comes from my Corrado days, which were also built in Osnabruck. If you think fake AMG badges are annoying it's got nothing on Corrado's with eBay "Wolfsburg Edition" badges

Ah, the high life. It's twinned with Derby. I went there about three years ago on one of my euroblasts. They have a great Bergrennen (hill climb)weekend. The noise, the noise.

My mk2 golf gti 16v limited edition oak green was also made in osnabruk

 

[Spider10]

They've been having them for year's good fun tbh

 

[Spider10]

You could guarantee come fri afternoon they would be a race to Calais for the ferry and then back in time for mon those were the day's when you got fuel coupons
