Wilhelm Schwebe Died a few mounths ago aged 93. He was the Karmann man who did the TR6 and the MKII range. I met him last year, a very unassuming man. I just wonder how many of his cars are still on road world wide. Anybody got an idea how many MKIIs exist world wide? By the way he also did the VW Scirocco,the BMW 633 Coupe, VW Corrado, VW Karmann Ghia and SEAT cars. On top of that lot he played about with the HANOMAG, BMW 2000CS Coupe and did facelifts for SAAB and Volvo. How about thatall in all he was involved in abut 36 Projects.
