Description
This is Phoeby
She is a bit of a Project.
Ratty Karmann Cabrio / Cabriolet beetle
Running driving.
Un used in a long time but just completed a gentle 90 mile round trip to the Ace Cafe London on a very warm summers evening!
Rock solid.
Roof wrecked (which is why I stopped driving it as a Daily 25 years ago!)
Way too low.
Neglected.
Cool
We have been together a life time 28 1/ 2 years…. but I’m told it is time to consolidate the collection..
1600cc with 1500 gearbox
Engine powder coated..
Californian 1966 Car. It was stolen and recovered in the USA and issued with a California State Replacement chassis number in the 1990s
Paperwork shows old history from back then.
It was returned to the owners who didn’t want it anymore so sold to the UK..
Comes out once or twice a year if its lucky..
I will sell if the right person comes forward.
Tyres are old and showing cracking.
Last photo is the day the previous owner bought the car – Its not changed much.
I always promised I would restore the car.. but mostly just stored the car…
It really is solid!
Its August. I am raising the suspension slightly to make it more driveable..
