Board member Alexander Kukk presented his '61 Beetle with folding roof in Pearl White, alongside the 2003 Última Edición Club Beetle in Harvest Moon Beige.
The colour of the last Beetle built reflects the 60s Beetle years in particular. "I had one just like this..." This statement came up again and again and brought back memories for many visitors.
Unbelievable how the "pair UE and 61" had positioned themselves - Beetle history was on display.
The two are 42 years apart in terms of year of manufacture and on 4 April 2017, during the show, the 61 Beetle was registered for 56 years! You can see the changes very clearly - experts were constantly comparing details on the Beetles.
On the back wall of the club stand were 12 banners with impressions from the 2016 Norway adventure trip - which were always admired. Several Norwegian visitors to the show were particularly impressed by these unique images. The Última Edición Beetle calendar from 2004 (a rarity) also adorned the back wall - every page of the calendar was on display. It shows the Beetle production with many details - one of the most interesting pictures shows an employee "hammering" the gutter.
We would like to thank the many club members who visited the stand, and for the interesting technical discussions that took place. The club committee uses the show to maintain contacts with other clubs, Volkswagen, ADAC, etc. Some interesting things have already been organised for the future.
