I need to update my daily driver (it died :roll: ) so I think I'm going to have to sell a few cars to fund the new car. I don't want to but needs be eh?
1957 Oval
The Oval is a '57 and is great fun to drive. It's got line loc fitted allowing burnouts :lol:
The engine is an 1835cc and has just been tuned by Martin Murray. It's not a show car but that means you can have fun and you don't have to worry about a few scrapes!
It's also got a set or rare Volmac recling seats fitted. These are rare 50's accessories.
Spec:
Engine.
AS41 dual relief case, full flow.
92mm Barrels and pistons
VW 040 heads, semi hemi 3 angle valve job, ported and polished, single springs.
Weber 40 IDFs with CSP linkage.
VW forged F-type crank, balanced and 8 dowelled
Balanced and match weighted VW rods.
Engle 110 camshaft.
Engle lightweight lifters.
Chromoly pushrods.
VW 1.1:1 rocker arms with Porsche style swivel feet adjusters.
VW lightened, balanced and 8 dowelled flywheel.
Gene Berg gland nut.
Shadek 26mm oil pump.
VDO dual oil pressure sender.
Bosch 009 with Pertronix.
1 3/8" 4 into 1 header.
Bottom end assembled by Tony Royston @ Microgiant.
All components balanced and then dynamically balanced together.
Pistons balanced to within 1g.
Deck height set at .040 thou.
Combustion chamber size = 58cc.
Compression ratio 8.1:1
I don't have any dyno info for it but it is somwhere in the region of 100bhp.
Ran 14.73 in Betelgeuse and 15.9 in the oval at BugJam '04.
It has roughly 8k miles up on it.
New 4" narrowed adjustable beam with new tie rods, and inner tie rod ends.
New rear hub seals, brake backing plates, shoes and cylinders.
New spring plate covers with new outer rubbers.
New head lamp dipswitch, new battery, new TMI door cards,
carbs have new mixture and bypass screws, new needle valves, new CSP linkage.
It needs link pins to be sorted as they are worn and will the drivers channel around the closing panel in the future.

I may sell it without the engine as I think my GT deserves a nice bit of power :lol:
1965 Beetle Deluxe:
I bought this car from the 2nd owner in 97 and stripped it for resto but as I was about to head off on my travels so after rubbing down the body to remove paint I had to cover it before putting it into storage so we sprayed it in it's original black.........just to protect it so there's rust to sort out under the paint.
The car is a low mileage one and this can be verified by the last owner. She bought it from the 1st owner who traded it in for a 'modern' 12 volt Beetle with a bigger engine......aparently, she couldn't handle the HUGE power of her new Beetle and she crashed it!
Angela used it once a week to travel to the train station in Roscrea from her pub in Knock, just about 20 miles from Roscrea, to collect a keg of Guinness.
She had a few repairs done over the years but overall it's a nice original car.
There is the original dealer sticker on the dash. It says that it was bought from Glebe View Motors in Roscrea and the phone number was 76 :lol:
I was hoping to restart the resto this year but I don't think I'll get to do anything to it unfortunately. It's been in storage for at least 9yrs so it hasn't gotten any worse.
Not too many genuine Irish 6volt cars around anymore so this should make a nice classic.
These are the only pics I have to hand as the car is locked into the shed which is about 30 miles from me :roll:

Pricewise on both cars I'm not too sure but I suppose for the oval I'd be looking for ?6k as is. The 65 will be about ?1,500
Hopefully if the bank manager is in a good mood this week I won't have to sell either of these
