I saw it the other night as well. Think they even mentioned Binz involvment with VW, but downplayed the value due to no one knowing what it was?

They specialize in ambulances, hearses, rescue trucks, police vans, and other large-body conversions. Back in the 1960s -- before Mercedes-Benz came up with their T-series "station wagon" bodies -- Binz made a station wagon body conversion on a stretched MB 220 chassis. Didn't know they ever made a scooter. Amazing.

I knew they made them for about 4 years, and I never thought I'd ever see one. It didn't go for a tremendous amount of money either. It was made by the same Binz company that made the crew cabs. Anyone else see that?
