Odd Knutsen / VW 412-based one-off?

It is a VW-based one-off, but the builder was not Odd Knutsen.

Is there any info about this car?

Title: Re: Mystery 071106 <<VW 412 one-off, Norwegian>>
Post by: SeaLion on February 18, 2008, 02:42:12 PM

Not much. Odd Knutsen was a funiture designer for the norwegian Ekornes (Stressless chairs). The car was built in the 60s or early 70s.

It's VW-based, yes, but not Beetle.

Not a beetle, mid 70's I'll guess, not a transporter .......... 411?
But, I don't remember a 2 door.

I found it! It seems to be a home built 412 coupe. It seriously looks like they grafted an Opel Manta roof section onto it.

That's it! Well done.
Yes, sure looks like a Manta roof..
There were 2-door 412s - the station wagon and I think a 2-door version of the car as well.
