Welcome to our Forum, Gert, and thank-you for joining. One of our UK members had a 1970 411 he bought in Belgium - that was also grey.

Yes, I think Danny was at Budel, probably he put the card on your car.

I don't think I've got a photo, but club records say that 411 was a 2-door, so it's not the same one. I've just checked the licensing people and it was silver, not grey. I don't know what happened to it, as I believe the engine seized.

Dave.

Yep that was me, was good to meet you, were you the guy with the Italian spec front indicators on your Type 4? I would never have noticed them if you didnt show me.

any plans to come over to the U.K?

It's the British VW Festival at Malvern that weekend, Gert. Hoping for lots of Type 3s.

I've 7 passes available, but rather than send out, can you come to the stand and collect? Usually by the concours area.
