I think Coxy made an enquiry about it.

 

[Coxy]

I sure did. Pretty ropey but good for parts. It's a 66 and not a 63. It was imported into Ireland at some time in the late 70's so not an OG Irish one.

By no way as good as it looks in the photos on the Advert!

Both drivers and passenger door windows are smashed. Base of doors and rear quarters are rotten too. Car has been sitting there for a couple of years.

As Coxy said, would make a good parts car!

Have to say, rotten or not, I REALLY like this car!

I know of a certain 66 in better condition than that going for only €500 more!

 

[beetlebug]

thats the one in inchicore, isnt it?

 

[Coxy]

Yep, sure is Liam.

I'm looking for a pre-67 bug at the moment. You mentioned one for €1,500 in the thread above.

Any chance I could get some details? It's not mac's is it?

 

[JustinOval]

T'is Mac's I'd say.

 

[Coxy]

That's Mac's he's talking about. Having seen both, Mac's Bug is a better buy. The Dublin Bug is rotten and not only that, it has been covered in filler in the past which is now cracking so god knows how much rot is hidden under the paint.

 

[kvinyl]

Haven't seen the Dublin bug but I have seen Mac's and think it's great value for money

 

[beetlebug]

macs all the way, great car with great potential.and a nice seller too who wont screw ya!

 

[JustinOval]

Buy both, put the plate on the good one.

 

[Kieran53]

Don't I recall you on another thread giving out to non VW people about suggesting that V dubbers do this?

Tut Tut....

For a Cal Looker, I wouldn't be too bothered about the ZV plate.
