VOLKSWAGEN 181 Kurierwagen
Motors Corner is pleased to present this 1971 Volkswagen 181 for sale. Originally developed for the German army, the Volkswagen 181 is also known as the "Kurierwagen" in Germany, or "The Thing" in the United States.
This fully restored example was carefully selected by its current owner, one of the region's leading VW classic car experts.
Repurposed from its military use, this 181 is now the perfect recreational vehicle, offering four proper seats, reliability, ease of use, and a fun, unmistakable look.
Interior Condition:
The interior is in excellent overall condition, true to the stripped-down and functional spirit of the model. The upholstery is new, as are all the interior components.
Mechanical Condition:
The car starts instantly and drives remarkably well, combining smoothness and driving pleasure. The simple and proven mechanics of the air-cooled, flat-four engine give this 181 legendary reliability.
Exterior Condition:
The bodywork is in excellent overall condition. The soft top has been completely redone recently, as have the windows, ensuring a watertight seal and a neat appearance. The tires are new, mounted on new rims.
