The UK buyer seems to be Adrian Braham from classycampers/jasconversions based in Bristol.
He's been at it since 2009 at least.

Adrian is advertising them on The Samba now:

I don't think they are going to sell quick. Even for the UK market it looks a bit much.

They'll sell. Even at those prices, collectors know there arent many more chances to get a car like that

I am verry happy to say today I collected the last car that was part of the package deal me and Alex made in April 2015. :hangloose:

Adrian from the UK wanted to buy the cars and Alex gave him till end of August 2014 to come up with the money.
He did give me second option and did let me come to have a look at the cars in the meantime.

Alex was fair and gave Adrian another couple of months but we did a deal in April 2015.
He was very fair and never pushed me for any money at any stage as we did not put a time frame on anything.

The only condition from his side was the last car I collect was the Porsce 356B cabrio.

So after was a day I looked forward to fo over the last two years.

Thanks Herman, I do appreciate it.

No, not one car left the country. The package deal was five cars with the 356 being the last one out of the five.

Then did buy some others that was not part of the deal.
Most times I went we brought back three cars at a time.

Way to go man. :hangloose:

Now, you better show some pics of that lovely split kombi you got out of there too.

Isn't this just an amzing end to the story, I'm sure most thought the cars were gone for sure, but no, all safely in your possession.
