The Cal-look Lounge

FOR SALE - 1963 beetle, java green, 1776cc with fresh MOT.

I have owned the car for around 10 years and I am not driving her as much as she needs. When I first bought the car she was driven in all weather to go to events and holidays up and down the country. Since our son was born 5 years ago she has been driven very little and sometimes declared SORN over the last few years. She has been garaged under a lined waterproof cover. (Comes with car which cost £200) She was restored fully by owner before me and have lots of pics of resto.

We are about to do a loft conversion on the house towards the end of summer so could do with the cash instead of putting against the mortgage.

Any interest? She needs a good home  :(

7.5k lowest I can go to? Anybody?

I hope there is. as at that price it is hard to find a car that has those specs and seems to be in good condition. sad to see it go though.

Cheers Nicolas. Fingers crossed I could do with the space and it’s a shame to see her not being used again for the next year.
