Everybody and their dog loves '67s, but the rarest '67 of them all is the 1200 Standard  or 'Base Model'. It get's a whole lot rarer if it was originally ordered from new with the optional Golde ragtop sunroof (the last Beetle model/year to be offered by VW with a ragtop.) And then it gets far rarer if it was also ordered new as a Right Hand Drive car - as the only ones know were ordered as hire cars by a company on the Channel Islands between England and France.

It is thought 10 cars were ordered - about three are still known.

One of them is for sale!

I own one of these.  It's a 1967 "Volkswagen Sedan with sliding canvas sun roof, RHD".  It's a Type 116.  This car was pretty famous in the 80's which is why I bought it with the intention of restoring it to its former glory.  It's now sat in primer and is a blank canvas as far as I see it.

Straight and true and it currently has a tire on it for the past 6 months with no inner tube and still holds air .... NO leaks.  Although i would recomend using an inner tube. 

### tire will be removed prior to shipping ###

I am asking only $300 shipped within the US overseas please ask for shipping quote

Took the engine out and started to check what caused the leaking oil.
Took off the rocker arm from the 1-2 side so the valves are shut and turned the engine by hand. You could hear the air blow out of the cylinders at the point where the leakage is.
So I took off the head and that showed some black residue at the side where the leak is. Also the piston #1 is cleaner then #2.

Time to took off the cylinders to see the rings and piston, rings where not at the point were I put them because the gaps where a bit on the middle of the piston, and not at the top.
Then I measured the depth of the cuts in the heads and I that's were the problem is.
Measured the depth of the cuts at the both sides of the head at #1 and #2. 11.64

#1:  15.56mm and 15.61mm
#2:  14.85mm and 14.83mm

When torqued to spec the head is properly seated at #2 but #1 is not seated, these differences are way to much. Did not check this when putting all the parts togged so that's a lesson

Going to check the head at #3 and #4 and ask a machineshop to make them all 4 at the same depth.

Also saw that my crankseal is leaking so I can fix that to. Wink
