Car is located in Poole, Dorset. Only for sale as I have seen another car I want to purchase:eek:

RHD 1963 Beetle on a 1966 Ball Joint floorpan. This is how I purchased it. Shell was really good. Minor welding required at time of restoration. Now super solid and no rot!

Car is fully de-chromed and repainted (Bare metal respray) in its original Beryl Green colour. Has been painted 8 years now but hardly used so paint is still good. Small number of minor imperfections if you are being picky:)

One piece windows with doors converted internally by Alex Taylor to use 67 dual lifters. Work well and don't leak!

Genuine Aronson Decklid from the 70's. Day Mouldings wings and genuine vw bonnet.

Short axle gearbox with Gene Berg midmount and Traction Bar. Also fitted with genuine vwe grey gearbox mounts. Avo coilover rear shocks

1776cc Engine, around 7000miles only. All machining/balancing done by John Maher racing. Spec is exactly to the Volksworld How to Build a 1776cc motor except it is running a 120 Engle cam, not a 110 as in the article. Dynoed by John Maher at 105bhp. Has ran a 15.71 1/4 in previous owners hands. Runs smooth and super cool:D

MWS Torker wheels in black with polished rims. Fitted with American racing centre caps and 135 front tyres and 205/70 rears. Perfect Cal Look Stance.

Full compliment of Autometer guages and fitted with a Flat 4 GTV Steering Wheel (new and only just fitted, but bought in 1992!)
Interior is black vinyl with black vinyl diamond stitched door panels. Brand new vw heritage carpet kit still to be fitted (will do for new owner if necessary) Gears selected by 60% Gene Berg shifter. Full (not 1200 style) Headliner professionally made and installed

Car was built up with all new brakes, custom new wiring loom by Richard Morena and has no known issues other that I just dont use it enough, its a crime for such a cool car.

Will get pics uploaded asap but viewing/driving is more recommended. Too much to list really

£ or nearest offer complete.
I do have someone interested in the engine, but would prefer the car to stay whole.
Car as a roller (if you have your own motor) £

Please do not ask to buy the motor seperately.
