The BDs history - part 1


I always think a cars history is an important part of it's current identity. And having followed the Kempes van on the internet, it's so cool to see how the roots of the cars life can be tracked down. I've barely started to dig into this vans history, but I got some allready.

When it left the Norwegian dealer Møller in september 1953 it was put in duty at Oslo Lysverker. This was the public supplier for electricity in the city of Oslo. The picture above shows the maintainance central for Oslo Lysverker in the period this van was in duty. You can easily spot at least two grey VW vans in the photo, one panel and one with windows. It could very well be in the picture...
