THIS BEETLE IS A HISTORIC CLASS CAR, WHICH MEANS NO MOT AND FREE TO TAX

THE PRICE IS CHEAP, AS I KNOW It’ll NEED SOME SMALL THING DONE SOON

SHE IS DRIVEN DAILY AN GETS LOTS OF LOVELY COMMENTS WITH ITS LOVELY FADED PASTEL BLUE SHABBY CHIC LOOKS, RUSTY BUMPERS AND COOL ROOFRACK.

SHE IS SOLID IN THE BODY AND THE ENGINE PULLS WELL.

THE BRAKES PERFORM OK BUT BEETLE BRAKES ARE NOT GREAT.

SHE IS A FOUR SEATER WITH BLACK VINYL SEATS AND THE CLASSIC STEEL BLU- PAINTED DASH.

ALL WINDOWS WORK, INCLUDING THE COOL FRONT QUARTERLIGHT WINDOWS THAT OPEN AND SWIVEL TO FORCE AIR ONTO YOUR COLLECTION.

TYRES HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR WITH TONS OF TREADS. THERE ARE 3 WHITEWALL TRIMS ON THE TYRES, BUT IVE ORDER A NEW SET OF FOUR FOR YOU.

SPEEDO INSTRUMENTS WORK GOOD, INCLUDING THE FUEL GAUGE, WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR THESE.

DOOR LOCKS WORK TOO.

HAS FOUR CHROME DOMED WHEEL TRIMS AS PICTURED.

ALWAYS STARTS FIRST TIME.

THE VISIBLE RUST (OR CHARACTER, I LIKE TO CALL IT!) COULD BE EASILY SANDED AND TOUCHED IN.

ALL LIGHTS WORK, BUT ALL FOUR INDICATORS HAVE STOPPED WORKING, BUT ODDLY HAZARD FLASHERS WORK - THIS COULD BE THE INDICATOR SWITCH ITSELF.

THE HORN IS A HILARIOUS SOUNDING VINTAGE HORN WHICH AMUSES ANYONE THAT HEARS IT - GREAT LAUGHS!😄

JOBS TO DO:

SHE IS SOLD AS AN ON THE ROAD, RUNNING AND DRIVING PROJECT, AS YOU DRIVE.

THE FLOOR PANS ARE GREAT UNDERNEATH BUT THE HEATER CHANNELS HAVE ROTTED OUT, HOWEVER THEY CAN BE WELDED WITH TWO LENGTHS OF STEEL 5 FOOT BY 3 INCHES, TO DO BOTH SIDES. IT WONT LOOK PRETTY UNDERNEATH BUT WILL BE SOLID - AND WHO LOOKS UNDERNEATH ANYWAY!

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL PATCHES NEEDED ON THE INNER WINGS, BUT AGAIN EASY TO DO AND WONT TAKE AGES - PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

SHE STARTS IMMEDIATELY BUT, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT GENTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS UNTIL SHE WARMS A LITTLE, THEN SHE WILL TICK OVER ON HER OWN - BUT THE TICKOVER IS FAST ALSO. I THINK PROPER ADJUSTMENT WILL CURE THIS. IT DID USED TO TICKOVER ON STARTING UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, AS IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC CHOKE. 

LAST THING TO MENTION IS THAT GEARS ARE AWKWARD - UNTIL YOU’RE USED TO THEM. THE GEAR LEVER BUSH WANTS CHANGING TO TAKE UP SLACK (ACTUALLY A SIMPLE JOB AND CHEAP PART.

ALL GEARS SELECT OK, BUT CHANGING DOWN FROM 3RD TO 2ND IS AN ARTFORM BUT ONCE SHOWN, IS ACTUALLY EASY. LOTS OF BEETLES AND BUG VANS ARE LIKE THIS, BUT THAT GEAR-LEVER BUSH MAY CURE THIS. DOESNT AFFECT THE ENJOYMENT OF DRIVING IT THOUGH.

OK, PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS WHILST THE AUCTION IS RUNNING.

PAYMENT ACCEPTABLE IS CASH OR, BANK TRANSFER

PLEASE PAY IN FULL AND COLLECT WITHIN 7 DAYS, BUT CAN STORE IT FOR ANOTHER 7 DAYS FOR YOU, AFTER FULL PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE.

IF YOU LIVE FAR AWAY AND WANT HER DELIVERED TO YOU, THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR POSTCODE AND I’LL GET YOU A DECENT QUOTE FROM A LOCAL TRANSPORT GUY NEAR ME OR, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE ONE LOCAL TO YOU AND I WILL ASSIST THEM WITH TIMES, LOADING ETC.

SHOULDNT HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLE BUT, IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION, YOU ARE COMMITTED TO BUYING HER, AT TOUR WINNING BID PRICE.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO VIEW HER AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME (IM VERY FLEXIBLE WITH THAT) AND I WILL HAPPILY TAKE YOU FOR A PROPERLY DECENT DRIVE TOO!

SHE’S A GREAT CAR, THAT CAN BE ENJOYED NOW, BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT SHE WOULD NEED SOME JOBS DONE SOON - HOWEVER SHE IS PRETTY CHEAP, TO HELP WITH THOSE COSTS.

THATS IT!

BON CHANCE
