Fireman- the original brochures for the then KDF Wagen (Strength through joy Wagen) manage to stretch the cars into sort of long sleek cruisers in a way the advertising standards authority would hammer them for today.

Might want to brace yourself but a good bay window like the vans above sell from £8000- £12000 and the split window models in good restored condition will set you back anything from £12000-£50000 depending on model.
I bring bay window vans in from the states that are completely rust free and solid but usually need painted and some tidying that start around £7000. With a couple thousand spent on paint they would easily be worth the top end of the price range.
Condition is everything and there are lots of sheds that are tarted up and sold at a premium only to end up rusty projects a few years later.
If you are really thinking of buying one I am more than happy to show you all the areas to check for hidden rot and common problems.
