Seller Description
The car had an MOT test last week and passed with flying colours - which is indicative of its true condition :)1960 1200 Volkswagen beetle RHD. Built in October 1960 this beetle is a very rare 1961 MY car. original RHD UK registered car. This car has not been used on the road since 1995 when the previous owner purchased it as a restoration project. I purchased it late 2008 as a pile of parts and a restored shell in its BMW dark metallic green. its taken me until now to get the car to this point where its 98% complete. still looking for a passenger door arm rest and a few other little things. The car has a professionally restored shell and has no rust at all. its been built correctly with remarkably little metal replaced for a UK car. testament to the care with which the previous owners had kept it. The shell has had a complete re-paint and is finished to a high standard above and below. floor pans are immaculate as are all internal painted surfaces. The shell has the original deck lid. bonnet. drivers door. the passenger door is a replacement. The wings are genuine Day mouldings glass. Rear lamps are original snow flakes . the front lamps are not original. Bumpers are the cars originals as is the majority of the chromework. though some has been re-furbished. The exterior paintwork on the shell had suffered some scratches whilst in storage and it was very difficult to decide what to do. I purchased on a whim really then had to decide what to do with it! So decided that what I wanted was a fast street car. not a drag car but a pretty stock looking bug with some decent mechanical upgrades and a nice 1776 motor to push it along. so the decision was made not to focus on the paint but build it all up to a nice spec and then give the bug a patina finish. its not a rat look. Ididn'twant rust. more of lived in look. So the build is a very personal one and if the finish isnt to your taste then a refinish in a stock colour could be done with no metalwork to repair or other parts to buy. The beetle is the most rust free UK car I have seen or owned and will make a genuine sound investment for its new owner. I hesitate to say its had a nut and bolt restoration but it is pretty close. The interior has been re-trimmed to the headlining. carpets. seats including all the frames. the door cards are the original ones as are the rear quarter trim panels with chrome ashtray. it has a genuine Dehne fuel guage and radio blanking panel. the dash is uncut and original. Robri gravel guards are modern copies but I just love the look. The car has had the following mechanical upgrades1600 TP motor ( this was built in 2005 for a baywindow that came from FBI and has done very low miles just a few thousand certainly less than 5) The 1776 engine that was built for this project is not for sale. Electronic ignition.
