Stoll Coupé

Here' s a little story about the famous Stoll Coupé. In 1992 the Belgian Binocle club, a stricktly vintage VW club, celebrated their 15th anniversary with a vintage meeting at Herderen, Belgium. Back than the Stoll coupé was just restored and owned by the famous Bob Shaill. The DVF club didn't exist yet but some DVF members had a little vw club in the centre of Ghent named 't Galgenhuisje. Our DVF vintage freak Dimi had met Bob at a meeting in England and there they decided to meet at the 'galgenhuisje' in Ghent to drive together to Herderen. And I was there too and took some pictures : )

Somewhere in between our trip we had to stop due to some problems with Dimi's zwitter but Mr Bob Shaill fixed the problem.

Here's a shot of the meeting. I remember there were a lot of splits and ovals. Just like Bad Camberg the meeting was held on a dull footballfield. Ok, the meeting wasn't as big as BC but now and than Bob Shaill uses some pictures of the Herderen meeting in his VolksWorld column 'Kdf Observer'. Some years later Bob sold his Stoll to the Wolfsburg Museum.
