Description
1966 Volkswagen Beetle finished in black, presented as a clean Cal Look example that has been recommissioned and is now back on the road.
The vehicle was off the road for approximately 20 years, during which time it was restored and repainted around 2010. It was later mothballed before being purchased by myself at the end of 2023. Over the course of approximately 18 months, the car has been carefully recommissioned and returned to road use. Since then it has covered around 600 miles reliably.
