1973 | Volkswagen Thing 1600

Transmission: 4 gears, Manual gearbox

Like the DKW Munga, the Type 181 has the image of a cult classic[6], due to its angular styling, which leaves no doubt as to its strict purpose. The roof and doors are removable without tools, and the windshield folds down, similar to a Jeep. The interior is a perfect illustration of form-following functionality with its painted steel door panels and flat bench seats.
Current prices in the United States range from US$3,000 for serviceable, yet to be restored cars, to prices of US$15,000 for nicely restored ones.

At the US auction house Barrett-Jackson, a restored Type 181 sold for over US$40,000. Logically, the highest amounts are paid for beautiful, unrestored, original condition cars with a low mileage.
In recent years, various Type 181 models with a military background have been offered on the eBay auction site for amounts ranging from 25,000 to 35,000 US dollars.

This type 181 comes from the USA and is in the colors yellow with a gray interior. It is a good driving car, ideal for the beach house. It has a hard top that is easy to remove. For the enthusiast of an open Volkswagen!
