T34 World: Plans, Hopes, & Dreams
I‟ve been involved with T34s since 1987 and over the past 20
years I‟ve seen many changes in the organizations that help T34
owners. The KGOC-Great Britain (founded by Andy Holmes) is
the longest-serving club that focused on all KGs in GB. Since the
USA didn‟t have any T34 owners club I formed the T34 Registry
in 1989. There have been several German KG clubs but none
dedicated to T34s. And then in 2004 when the T34 Registry
went free & completely online I founded PureT34 to help T34
owners dedicated to original restorations. With the T34 50 th
Anniversary in 2011, I felt it was time to create a worldwide T34
organization that helps all T34s. So the T34 World was
conceived over cold beers with my good friend Antonio
Pellegrino from Italy in the summer of 2010.
We began by sharing the concept with serious T34 owners in
many countries around the world to see if it was a good idea.
From there we built an international team of representatives
that agreed to support their local T34 owners with advice, parts
sources, & information that would help them enjoy their T34s
more. By September the team was at 28 reps in 16 countries.
The idea with one worldwide T34 organization would mean
that the two current T34 groups (T34.org and PureT34) would
merge into T34 World to provide one central source for all
owners. The T34.org administrators had not been actively
improving that site over the past several years and I believed
they would want someone else to take one the responsibility of
managing the work. After two months I learned that we could
not come to an agreement to work together. This was an
unfortunate situation and I hope someday these two groups will
merge to better serve the world‟s T34 owners & enthusiasts.
With the meteoric improvements in web design & features I
developed a short list of the improvements that would be
necessary. An active forum discussion panel, an active email
group, a dedicated classified ads section, and everything would
be connected via one simple modern web site interface.
I have years of experience working with HTML web design
(thanks to Paul Colbert back in the 90‟s) but I‟ve chosen to use
the new Flash design for several key reasons: creative visual
design, integrated sound & movement, ease of use, and
uniqueness. The T34 World web site www.T34World.org gives
us a modern look, some great graphic creations, and it‟s much
easier to use than anything before it. You‟ll see …
As with any new organization there are many things that need
to be improved. We‟re evaluating a new classified ads program,
evaluating a new database program, and improving the
functionality & content on a daily basis. However, the email
group & discussion forum are active, the galleries are loaded,
and the international rep team is ready to help. We‟ll soon
have individual owner‟s galleries to share images of their
restoration work. We have the Parts List Book & Wiring
Diagrams already and soon will have all of the owner‟s manuals.
We will continue to email the World News magazines to keep
you energized & informed of the latest T34 news & stories.
Enjoy!

T34 community will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the T34
in Georgsmarienhütte, Germany. GMH is only a few kilometers

T34s from September 1961 through June 1969.
T34 owners from around the world will converge on GMH
beginning on Thursday August 11 th and the final day will be
Sunday August 14 th . There are expected to be over 50 T34s
which will set a new world record for the most T34s attending
one event. In addition to the car show area there will be a
spare parts area to buy T34 parts & accessories.
There will be several T34 caravans coming into GMH from
various areas including Belgium, southern Germany, Switzerland,
and Italy.
Thursday 11Aug will be when the participants arrive at their
hotels and spend the evening meeting old & new friends.
Friday 12Aug will begin at 10am with the T34s lining up in the
show presentation area and by 11am the show will be open to
the public to inspect the cars. T34 lectures on T34 history will
begin at 1:30pm and will involve experts in the T34 world, old
workers from the Karmann factory, and will have a lot of great
photos & information that will be interesting to everyone. The
dinner program will begin at 6pm.
Registration for English-speaking T34 drivers can be found here.
The cost is 50 Euro per T34 and additional passengers are 10
Euro. The drivers package will include a mug, magazine, HO-

all in-line driving around the German countryside. Again at
6pm the dinner program will begin.
