Lot number: 175

Stunning! This is how this 1972 VW Beetle is described. When the owner at the time set out to restore his car back to better than new condition, little did he think it would take so long or cost so much but when you carry out a full body off, nut and bolt restoration on a car, this is what happens! Completed 4 years ago now, the results of all this work are evident to any one that looks. Starting with a low mileage car that had been owned by the same family for years. This Bug was stripped to its bare bones, any and all signs of rust, corrosion or wear were removed, where necessary using genuine repair panels. The 1600cc engine was fully reconditioned and stainless steel fixings were used throughout the rebuild of the shell and chassis. Only the best quality paint was used on the body shell with many more coats laid on than Volkswagen originally used. The interior was completely replaced using new items and according to the vendor even "smells" new, rather than that musty smell old Beetles tend to have. He also says to not forget to look underneath the car as the underside gleams as well as the top! Described mechanically as driving like a new car and sounding great, the 1600 cc engine whips it along the road briskly while the reconditioned gearbox and new clutch operate perfectly. With every aspect of this car being described as "Excellent" this car is a definite candidate "Best in Class or Show". No its not a cheap Beetle, quality never is, but it is probably one of the best available on the market today!
