Hello, I come from Germany and spend 3 weeks here in CapeTown for work and holiday.

Is the Karmann still lost? I saw him this week in Capetown:

Correct!
I'm staying at the Hotel Protea President in Bantry Bay Cape Town Western Cape.

Cool!
We should meet us in the next days. Today, I must work!

I'm in Algeria and Tony is bobbing around in the Indian Ocean somewhere, in the northern hemisphere. You (Andreas) should let HR (Dave) know that you've seen it. His number is 083 695 0242. Hopefully that way HR can contact the owner and they can get the cops out there before it's gone...

Well spotted Anrdreas, and thanks for posting on the forum, hopefully this has a happy ending - any updates anyone ?

LOL, as Ron said, I am not in SA at the moment. Floating around the Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka.
If you still in town in Jan, I'd be happy to meet up. Wir konnen auch in Deutsche unterhalten if you wish - sorry, never learned to read or write German, but talking is pretty good.

Thanks guys

Have posted this finding.

Will report on any updates when I get any.

Nice talking to you. I have informed the police about this and hope the case can be solved.

How cool is it that we have a German visitor in Cape Town who has a few Lowlight KG's and then sees one, takes pictures of it and then finds our forum on the net, only to find he took pictures of a stolen one while out and about in Sea Point.

Come on SA Police lets solve this together

I'll do my very best!
(as already said Butler James, in „Dinner for one”)

I hope we can meet us in the next days ... Who else is in Cape Town here?

You have a FRIDOLIN!!!

WOW. When you get home please post some pictures.

As well as your Ghia. I don't think we have ever seen one of those either.

Yes, that's the Brazilian KG. They have the front of the T14 prototype that didn't make is and it's a fast back. They look very cool. As for the Frid... well... too fine!

One of the people who reported the Ghia stolen has just made friends with me on Face Book. Have sent a message for them to phone me ASAP.
