Please note I will be putting my car on a Car and classic auction soon. Please check the auction
Fully body-off restored 1963 Karmann Convertible beetle that I have owned and restored for 8 years. The car has all new paint work in VW L390 Gulf Blue carried out professionally at Wye Valley VW classics in Gloucestershire. The body was stripped to bare metal and separated from the floor pan before painting. The car is converted to right-hand-drive and has a 1600CC dual-port engine and 12V so keeps up with modern traffic.
I have the VW birth certificate available showing genuine Karmann chassis and the body retains its Karmann body stamp. V5 and some history also available. The car was delivered to the USA but imported into the UK before 1978. DVLA have first registered in1965 but is a 1963 as per the birth certificate and chassis number so it has all the early 60s features.
New roof and new interior
Many photos of the restoration are available – just a small set here.
