So the trip to Bristol then Somerset proved fruitful! My sister came back with a beautiful 1960 ceramic green bug (one year only colour), flip its a great first beetle for her, slightly envious with all the early features. It is a great original beetle with a few nice features: og vw stamped bumpers, vw stamped headlights, lovely og 1200cc driving sweet etc etc etc
Trying bit by bit to keep it original and stock - ok she is, it's not mine and I keep having to reminding myself that! LOL.
First off, would eventually like to replace the cheap repro peeling hubs with genuine. If anyone has a stash of og vw hubs that would fit a 60 bug appreciate a PM. They don't have to be mint, slightly tatty but og would be great.
trying to persuade her to drive down to Jumpstart in it.
