Description

Original - Not repainted or restored Lido green paint German market , full paperwork and full history . 3 owners - last owner had it 34 years and it’s been a regular at Stanford Hall concours class 4 category- just scored well in this years - Insurance Agreed value is 12k - this car is as good as they get - very original and with some subtle period improvements- new alloys , tuned engine with 1641cc and matching updated internals - looks standard and drives well and keeps up with modern traffic . Lovely high back seats from new - not many Beetles from this period are of such high quality .

All original bar some 1980’s upgrades - 1641 engine - Empi alloy wheels and cb performance dropped spindles meaning a lower front suspension .

An absolutely awesome Beetle in a fabulous colour - show trophies included - unrepeatable

Selling as I like a change every few years - not urgent to sell - but would consider deal or swop on a type 3 , 60’s Bug or Ghia . I’ve been advised this car is worth more than the original price - happy to negotiate!

You need to see this car - concours vehicle - you could not restore a bug for anywhere near this price and they are only original once -3 owners , original German logbook full service history and paperwork file

Magazine featured in 1985 - really well known car through tbe decades at Stanford hall - can’t believe it’s not been snapped up yet
