Velvet Red special edition VW beetle with lots of history and paperwork., one of only 3000 made for German factory by Mexico in 1985

Very much a patina car with some original paintwork, original interior, sills, doors etc. does have surface rust scratches and dinks!
Run as is or restore !

Decklid and bonnet (different shade of red) changed at some point and fitted with dual port 1300 engine , runs and drives.

Partially finished project..back brakes need sorting plus some welding to rear of cills and jacking points -repair panels and replacement brake pipes/backplates etc included.

Has had some other patch welding and RHD conversion in the past , from history appears it was imported from Germany in 1994 and last on the road in 2012 then has sat around since then...till I bought it in 2024.. but very good for its age, especially a Mexican beetle!

Original Handbook, Factory service book, German reg document and export doc inc extensive UK history and every MOT !

All electrics, lights etc work, nearly new battery included.

includes other spares, manuals etc.


Sale due to having another project and not enough time to finish .. wont take much to get it fully on the road

You’ll need a trailer to collect due to brakes and tyres are original but cracked , but will run and drive for loading.
