Description:

Description from The Vendor:

I brought the car as a non-runner in 1999. I spent £750 to get it back on the road. I used it daily until I retired in 2007. Unfortunately the engine packed up and I started restoring it in 2011. Cool Campers found me an engine and they stripped it down and rebuilt it with new tin ware, heat tubes and heat exchangers at a cost of £1,224.24p. Below is a list of some other work that I have done to the Beetle:

  • New carburetor
  • Coil
  • Fuel pump
  • Electronic ignition
  • 1 ½ litre sump extension
  • Close gate gear shift
  • Sport exhaust
  • New clutch
  • New brakes
  • Disc conversion on front
  • Dual circuit master cylinder
  • Window rubbers
  • New tyres 185/60
  • Respray and new chrome
  • New running board
  • Radio/cd player and speakers
  • Recondition alternator and voltage regulator

Regrettably, the oddometer has stopped working so mileage is that of when it stopped.

 

Auctioneer’s notes:

This little Beetle has been owned by the vendor for the past 14 years and during that time he has maintained and improved her at great cost.  She is a very solid, rust-free Beetle but, in my opinion, the paintwork could have been more professionally carried out.  She is fitted with a sports exhaust and sounds great.  She is to be sold without reserve.  You can use her as is but I think she deserves a proper respray.  In the service file there is the original service book, 18 stamps, MOT’s back to ’98 and 2 manuals, one is “how to restore a VW Beetle” and the other is a Haynes Workshop Manual.  She really is a great little car and may be viewed, strictly by appointment.
