(Engine-bay photos and running video will be provided.)Originally delivered new in New South Wales, Australia, this Beetle spent its early life on the Clear Mudgy Wine Estate, shuttling between the vineyards. It never saw rain, never battled rust, and was cherished by its owners.
Over 20 years ago, it was carefully imported to the UK by a close friend of mine a respected VW expert using a specialist company. He maintained it meticulously for two decades until I purchased it from him.
