Title: Spatz
Post by: blob on February 27, 2009, 09:57:11 pm: I love the look of this one especially the windscreen, but wonder how many additions are adorning the body or if it's supposed to look like this:

I wonder how someone can find two of such rare cars ??? According to the description the car which is acctually on ebay.de was found on an attic (!)

perhaps it was the "attic" of a barn?

I once got a tour of a barn in Germany that had a number of microcars UPSTAIRS in the loft hiding.
If you just walked into the barn you would never know they were there.

Post by: blob on March 01, 2009, 08:18:01 pm: I think I've seen about 7 of the Victoria's come up on eBay over the years, including the 2 in one job lot barn find that was spotted last year, but I've never seen this version. I suppose most of the scrap yard barn find images I've seen were taken many moons ago and no longer exist anyway.

I could not lead you there if there was a gun pointed to my head. This was back in 2002 when we were driving from Wohlen to StÃ¶ry.
So...it is somewhere in between there. ;)
also- before were allowed to tour the barn, we were sworn not to tell anyone else. Perhaps they were stored there illegally or something?
I do have some photos though.
there were a few BMW 600s and Isettas, lots of Isetta parts, a Janus and a BMW 600 Hunting Car that was a mess.
This was like the messy storage place. Nice cars were not stored there. But a number of the cars and parts were in original condition so that was kind of nice.

http://cgi.ebay.de/Spatz-Kleinwagen-zum-Restaurieren-sehr-selten_W0QQitemZ170312064488QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobile?hash=item170312064488&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

it must be quit annoying for the salesman that both Spatz were sold to an fun bidder (donÂ´t know if this is correct in english ::))
