Really terrible photos for trying to see what the kite is all about. I've never heard of them and that's generally not a good thing if others haven't
either.

German manufacturer... not sure when they stopped production....
Both kites are KO, so figure you would have to also invest in bars/lines and time to tweak.
Vintage is probably mid 2000's
If the kites were kept someplace cool/dry, they are probably all kinds of spiffy. If they were left in a shed for x number of years, they could be
full of pinholes and and the sail coating might have started breaking down due to mildew/rot. Hard to tell from pictures.
If you are serious, I would ask the seller to do an inspection for you. She doesn't need to know anything about kites to do a sight inspection and
check the condition of the canopy fabric/bridle.
Without that, you could be resurrecting a superhero that has been in cryonic suspension or unleashing an alien life form that will wreak havoc on your
fragile body parts.
Only impressions I could find was an old Foilzone post.
I can do some more in depth research this evening if you want, but have to run out to the vet for a kitty checkup soon.

Wow. I would buy that 18m simply for nostalgia. Could be the ultimate low wind monster.... :evil:

Oh, never mind I thought that they were fixed bridle.... :bird:

Thanks chaps !
Brian, I know, I was wondering if I had missed something though. Guess not.
Sam, if you could that would be cool! 
Thanks. I obviously tried myself, but
couldn't find anything ! :/ Do you think the bar and lines would be pretty standard ?
Cheezy, I was tempted by the 18m! Although there's also a 7m frenzy on ebay here at the moment, and that would be nice :D
