Original UK model RHD Karmann convertible Beetle in old English white with polished Fuch alloy wheels.
We have owned this Beetle for almost 10years and used for some weddings in that time. We've now too many other cars to warrant keeping this unfortunately so have to sell.
The Beetle has had a new hood within the past couple of years and as far as I'm aware has only been painted and retains it's original panels and therefore is extremely straight with all panels lining up perfectly as do any shut lines, The paintwork was professionally done to a very high standard some years before we acquired the car and it also had the interior retrimmed in tan leather and tweed which is still in great condition.
It is however showing a few signs of wear and the bottoms of the doors and a few other small areas would need attended too. There are also a couple of small bits of welding required in the rear inner arches above both wheels. The rest of the car is solid and rot free. It is currently on SORN and the MOT expired last year as we had intended to get these issues sorted, but due to other projects just haven't had the time.
Price of £7500 is for the car as it sits, we also have the original GT wheels which could go back on the car instead of the Fuchs and the price will be adjusted.
Car is located approx. 20miles north of Belfast.

He's not being greedy and it does need the paintwork tidying.
Should emphasise that it's £7500sterling :)
