Mine Deuts ist night gut genug um viel zu schreiben, so ich wollte in englisch scheiben.
Wow, A lot of reaction, most positive and some other reaction, but that OK. At least it is less negative than what was written about the Ruby red 63 coupe I have for sale. If you start with a beautiful woman and dress her up with a lot of nice jewellery so that she looks absolutely stunning, she will still be a beautiful woman even after you remove some of that jewellery.

(Some people will understand this)
But Lets go back to the topic.
I bought the car with the intention to restore it. I have Carefully choose to buy this car and not one of the other Rometsches that were available.
Hartmut Is right, the chassis is standard bug. Rometsch bought VW bugs and removed the bodies and used the chassis for there one cars. So chassis, gearbox, engine, breaks, front axle, etc, is standard bug.
The bodyparts were chosen from parts magazines form that time:
- Taillight and Front turn signal --> Fiat 1100
rear view mirror, headlights --> Karmann ghia
Clocks, doorhandles --> Borgward
Steering wheel --> Petri Africa
The hard parts to get are the bumpers and the chrome parts that were specially made by Rometsch. My car have the bumpers and most of the other rare Rometsch parts. I bought this car because it is complete!
The real problems start with the body. Rometsch used an metal frame with wood pieces on were they attached the aluminium body panels. The metal frame is complete gone, but I have already bought a complete spare one!! When the Rometsch for the VW museum in Wolfsburg was restored, the restorer made a copy of the frame and had it for sale for several years. I knew about that and when I found this car what is complete with good body panels, I know it will fit perfectly with the metal frame and that gives me a jump start in the restoration.
It also comes with the seatframes and some other parts:
For now, I will leave the car untouched and it will be first show for a few months in the new Dutch aircooled VW museum that will open in the beginning of April 2010.
