[For Sale: Car] 1974 Bug (60s look)

[jim1500]

My sister bought this wee car last year, she hasn't used it much and with her kids starting to get their own cars there's 7 or 8 cars at her house now so something has to go!

It's a 74 with earlier panels and a fibreglass W rear lid. It had a fortune spent on it before she bought it, pedrini alloys, 4 pirelli tyres, stainless bumpers (it seems like) rear venetian blind, bamboo parcel shelf, tan basket weave interior. 1600 engine that pulls really well too. Needs a headliner and a few wee odds and ends. Will try get a few more pics

She's left it in to get MOT prep and once through will be looking £2500 ono

It's just outside Belfast

My old beetle! I heard that your sister got hold of it Jim. Just a bit of background I brought it over from Manchester in 2010. I did a road trip around Ireland in it and not once did it give me any trouble. Seriously good engine in it, I used to run it from Dublin to Derry and would see mid 30s no problem. Really regret selling it should have kept it for my brother, but I'm too skint with the camper to buy it back. Good luck with sale!

Cheers for the comments dudes. Would like to see it go to a good home............I'm debating liberating the pedrinis and getting them detailed for my 67
Now who's coming up top buy it then, form an orderly queue......

Pancho, it's in Glengormly so not far from Big Rab

Surprised this is still around, swap the wheels for a set of Spinstars it'd be a different look

Swap the wheels for a set of Ronal Teddys and it'd be another look again...

I'd buy the Wheels if they get switched out!

 

[jim1500]

If wheels come off Britt only place they'll be going is on my 67

How it could look with the rims detailed

 

[Roadcow]

Personally I prefer them the way they are.

If you buy the bug you can have them for free


They are a lovely wheel!
