How expensive are they and how easy to get in the UK?

Averaging £15K for a restored roadworthy one....... Top price paid so far is £18K There is a rae one for sale (Assembled 1945 by British Army) for £13K I believe. A Kuebl is a good investmetn if properly researched and wisely bought. Looked after and maintained. Some folks however have been known to buy them and leave them to rot.
theres a Kubel in Norway for sale, but its in bits, £6000, its been partially restored, and everything is there, it needs reassembling, bit beyond me and my capabilities. But it would make a great restoration project. If anyone's interested I'll post a link, theres plenty of photos and a bit blurb!

Easy enough to do - one of the guys in our unit had a plastic kubel from A Bridge Too Far and converted it. For £6k though, I'd expect it to need almost nothing doing to it. One other thing to bear in mind is that not all the repro or original kubel parts will fit a 'plastic fantastic'!352nd wrote:i did hear of one for sale in Yorkshire. It's only a fibreglass one though, made for A Bridge too Far. I think he wanted 6k for it. Only problem is it's right hand drive and needs converting to left hand drive. I don't know how easy that is?
The going rate for a top notch, completely restored original is between about £12.5k and £15k at the moment. There are some cheaper ones out there, but you have to hunt! Having said that, an original 1944 kubel sold in the US a few days ago for US$1500.von bock wrote:germany is your best bet for a kubel no joke there are guys there that restore them and when there finshed the result is fantastic

This Kübel (from 1943) owns by one of our members and he etstimated the price to be about 13000£. I think this one is in very good condition.

I think you mean £13000 (thirteen thousand!).
Very nice looking vehicle. Any more photos at all?
