Rumor has it that it was bought by a member here?  :o ;D
See: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270678817900
It sold for more than the starting price.

Actually I spent time over the last few months helping to assemble this very vehicle. It was partially dis-assembled and stored in boxes in a barn in Wisconsin.  A local person (some of us know well)  purchased it from the fellow who brought it back from Germany after WW II    It is amazing how the original leather survived all these years. It is still soft and pliable. Quite and interesting history. It has now sold and will be going away.
Reminded me a little of my 1933 380K Cabriolet that I owned many years ago.
