It was a "works" Karmann, a 1952 model (= Rheumaklappe") but made in 1951. My grandfather ordered a folding top limousine and a craftman in our town ordered a convertible but was unhappy with the cabriolet roof. So they switched their orders at the VW dealer. I know my dad has photographs of the cabrio in his albums, not sure if I have scanned them. Have to check.

Your "Heb" might be one of the vehicles some guys privately switched into Hebmüllers. At a VW Cabriolet meeting in the early 1980s (with 300+ cabrios!!!) my dad explained me the car and what was "not original". If I recall right, you could order conversion kits somewhere (on a private basis).

Wonderful! If it was a '51-built Karmann then it would still have featured the one-piece side windows as quarterlights didn't appear until the Oct. '52 face-lift mentioned earlier.

As far as the Hebmuller is concerned it was definitely the real deal. I won't go into a very long explanation as to why I know it to have been genuine but you can trust me on this point!

OK, here's the next one. Hope it keeps you entertained — I'm already running short of ones that are likely to be hard enough! In principle make, model and year, but some vagueness is probably acceptable :–)

Well, I think it's time for another clue. At least with this one there is little doubt what part of the vehicle it shows!

OK, here is the third clue to this puzzle. I have one further crop in reserve and after that I will have to do a full picture. Anyway, maybe this one will be enough.

Wolseley?

Not a Wolseley, but you do have the correct country of origin.

Perhaps it's now time for another crop.
