No, not way off at all. You'd definitely pick up something for in or around that money that would need work, how much depends on each car.

Well, regarding a trap, I'm still doing the research and trying to get my head around the finer points of aircooled VW ownership !! To be honest, I'm making sure it's something that I really want to do rather than a regretful fad.

That red Beetle looks very tasty ! Is it yours ?

Yeah, red one is mine. Looks better in pictures than real life I'm afraid. It's in the middle of a body off chassis repair at the minute. I've had it nearly five years, body is very good , but chassis was ropey at best and the time has come to sort it. Needs a lot of work but that's part of the territory.

you definitely won't regret buying one though, nothing like the feeling of driving them regardless of condition of work needed

I'm in the city outskirts but not a long drive to Camden. Well spotted !

We live a stones throw across the tide. My kids go to school down there and the view faces you as you leave the GAA pitch...…No hiding in a small town :D

Well, I knew I had an older thread on here - I went searching an found these posts !!
It only took four years but '23 was to be the year that the Beetle search finally ended.
After a flight to the Netherlands and a 10 day trip to drive it home, a Seeblau '66 now resides in the garage next to its aircooled German brethren.....
