A Opel Olympia carAvan P1 at the Räderwerktreffen in Hameln.

This Opel was found on a scrapyard in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The paint was burned by the sun.
After minor repairs on the engine, the car started after the first try without any problems.
It is in the original condition like it was found, only the driver and co-drivers seat were swapped.

Das ist ja mal ein interessanter Fund! Da fragt man sich doch immer, was das Auto wohl für eine Geschichte hinter sich hat...

Fantastic! I love it. Actually, I'd prefer to see it restored but... ah, what the hell - it can stay like that, it has character :D
