The new BBT building

The “Käfergarage” arrived @ BBT HQ!

15 years, that’s about how long  I was on the look out to locate one of these “rarest of the rare” purpose build metal garage box especially to size and dimensions and in form for a VW beetle!

This is build in Germany by the companySiegener AG from Seigweid G ermany in 1955! they been build entire from dirty cheap steel…:) Rust was a huge enemy, probably the reason there’s hardly none left anymore?

It’s the third of these garages I ever saw in the flesh and… third time best time …. this became mine about a half a year ago…. Thanks to BBT buddy Jan for the magic tip!

Enjoy the pictures, when You open the rear door the side door opens with a very simple but super cool mechanism!
