Heinkel Scooter Project: Interesting Automotive Links (2011)

I do spend quite a lot of time on the internet looking for information about the machines that interest me. Over time I tend to lose track of them so here is a list of links - as much a reminder to myself as potentially of interest to others. So, it you too like German motorcycles, scooters and two-stroke engined cars, enjoy! I'll be updating these links periodically too.

This is the amazing story of the discovery and restoration of a 1943 KDF prototype discovered in Lithuanian. Prior to its purchase by Grundmann the story was tracked in a very long forum discussion on The Samba website, here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=340552
