Unfortunately, it’s time to sell this one. Want to purchase something different (non VW) and don’t have the storage space. If I had the space, I’d keep it as it’s going to kill me to let it go.
Most of you will know the car. It’s a 1964 Bug which came from the U.S. back in 2010. I purchased it in 2011 and have done various jobs to it since (see link below showing work done).
It’s got a 1600 twin port engine, full new interior including headliner carpet, door panels, seat covers etc. The chrome BBS Sprint Star wheels are in great condition, as are the tyres. It’s got an adjustable front beam, a front safari windscreen (the screen is cracked from top to bottom in the centre but being flat glass, is easy to replace. I never did as being a Rat look car, it never bothered me).
The car is as solid a beetle as I have ever seen.
I’m a little unsure where to pitch the price. I’m asking €10k which I think is reasonable considering the condition of the car and the rarity of it. It’s a real head-turner which gets a lot of attention any time I have it out.
My progress page since purchase.
