All works carried out by SouthwestSplitz based near Exeter in Devon during lockdown for the previous owner who spent circa 16k on the vehicle I have the receipts.
The car drives lovely with nice tight gearbox and virtually brand new engine We bought the car in June 2023
It is a genuine solid car that was built to be a useable classic. Sale due to lack of use Porsche and Campervan seem to be taking priority . 12 months MOT and just serviced. I have pictures of the restoration work being done and videos of the vehicle running and exterior. I bought this as it looks amazing and is very useable. It also has no rust which is very rare for Beetles especially Mexicans. The 1600i engine runs really well and sounds great with the exhaust. Gets loads of admiring glances and a lot of interest at car shows. I have the original exhaust and some of the original trim parts as well as quite a few spares.
