Becoming Very desirable
We are very pleased to offer this very interesting VW Beetle finished in a VW colour of orange. It is believed that the car was originally orange then had a colour change to purple, but has recently been put back to orange. It comes with a selection of photographs showing the process it has gone through to bring it back to orange. Quite importantly the paperwork would suggest that the car was originally a UK supplied car.
The Beetle’s appearance is enhanced by the fact that it sits a little lower than a standard example and has slightly large wheels than standard, especially on the rear, to give the car the all-important “California Look” which we think it has achieved. This is further enhanced by not one, but two roof racks fitted that make it look fantastic and very individual indeed. It’s well worth coming to have view to appreciate the look of this car. As you would expect being the age it is, there are things to do to make it perfect if that’s what you wanted to do. However, we are sure a lot of people would leave it as is, but with all classic cars there is always something.
The car is accompanied by a lot of paperwork including a large collection of invoices, older MOTs before it became exempt, as well as the already mentioned selection of photographs showing works carried out over its life. Please feel free to come and view this Beetle at our purpose built facility in Cheshire and satisfy yourself that it is the car for you.
