Re: Type 3 Cabrio
This is the prototype of a VW 411 Cabriolet built by Karmann Coachbuilders of Osnabrück (code name: Model Hamburg; no EA-number is known although a Cabriolet option was styled as EA 237 in April 1967).
When this car was presented at Wolfsburg, Volkswagen’s top management showed little interest. It was suggested that Karmann should develop a Cabriolet on the basis of the new two-door version of the Audi 100 instead.
Karmann actually presented the car at the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) but it never made it into production.

I believe (but could be wrong) that the 411 cab is actually in Hamburg. Apparently there is a prototype museum there, but haven't found it yet! We are there at Christmas so will try and hunt it down.
