I know; I was lucky for my Kuebelwagen, in that I had a nice sample that had
been kept sealed away from air, moisture, pollution and light on the INSIDE
of a Notek black-out headlight; there was a marked difference between the
inside and the outside. (And NO, it had not been repainted ;-)
Cheers,
Ron.
