hey Trev,i was kind of tempted to ring about this car-was thinking about a cheap daily driver that dosn't need an NCT and has cheap tax.
you reckon it would be pretty bad rust wise is it?-like fook#d sills and all? are 1303's any worse for rust than 1200?dont really know much about where they rust,or if theres different things to look out for on 1303's.just want something to drive for six months/a year without completely falling apart.-or is it best avoid this one altogether?
has anyone come across this one before? is it 1303s? thanks

Well I haven't seen that one up close so I can't say what it's like. I'd like to clarify my previous statement though. I have yet to see a good UNRESTORED UK import 1303. Any I've seen, including some that have been restored, have had loads of bad MOT patching, extensive rot, loads of filler, poor paintjobs, tacky accessories etc. I don't know what it is about the 1303 but they don't seem to have received the same respect as standard beetles over the years.

there`s one going around dublin that was "restored" by someone who shall remain nameless,it was absolutelt rotten to the core but the owner had a sentimental attachment to the car , think he owned it from new, well unbeknownst to him he`s now driving around in a completely different car with his old numbers on it. anyone in the know knows who i`m on about too ;)

Colm, find out where it's located, if its Co Wicklow & close to Dublin then its Blessington, Bray or somewhere in between, i can probably have a look at it for you at some stage over the next two days, tried his no. but it's going to message minder

SAMBA ON DONE DEAL.... Update...

just got a reply from my friend "JAMES" in the uk...

I told you that right now I`m located at my father's farm in Great Britain (Kent). He has some health problems and we are forced to sell the bus. If you can`t come here to pick up the T1, I can arrange an delivery at your location & you will have 5 days inspection period untill you decide to buy it or not.

Wait your reply soon!

nice looking oval, pricey though. real pity they didn`t paint under the bonnet too while they were at it. the add says all panels original, the left front wing doesn`t look oval era,

It looks a little rough under the bonnet/boot and looks like the number has been reversed (should be 970 SYI) but that wasn't uncommon in the day.
