….PLEASE NOTE THE CAR IS LOCATED IN GUILDFORD, SURREY, GU5. I have for sale a standard 1200 VW Beetle, fitted with a re-conditioned 1600cc twin-port engine by the previous owner. It starts and runs fine and I’ve cleaned out the petrol tank, fuel line, and carburettor and fitted a brand new fuel pump. There is a Kadron exhaust fitted which gives a sporty exhaust note, and can easily be changed back to a standard exhaust if you wish. The car was on the road until the middle of 2011 when the previous owner purchased a sports car so didn’t need the beetle any more. It will need a small amount of welding to the front of the floorpan on the passenger side. Other than that it all appears solid as it has had welding previously done in the usual beetle areas! The spare wheel well has been replaced and is very solid. The bodywork of the car is good, and it will polish up well with a little bit of effort. Whilst there are a few surface rust scabs on the wings and a few on the doors, the main bodyshell is in great condition. You could certainly run it as it is and touch up those bits easily. There is no rear bumper but these can be picked up very easily and cheaply. The brakes and clutch work well as I have tested them on a private drive. The interior is in good condition. The headlining is un-ripped and very clean. The front seats were replaced by a previous owner for Polo seats and are very comfy. They will need a bit of adjustment though as I can’t get them to move backwards or forwards. Rear seatbelts have been fitted which is a bonus! It will not take much effort at all to get this car back on the road but due to starting a new job I realise I just won’t have the time as I’ll be working long hours so unfortunately I have to let it go to pastures new. I took a walk-round video of the car with the engine running here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kouks_EHtOM&feature=youtu.be The car comes with a folder full of receipts etc. for previous work done etc. which is always good to see. As the car has no MOT or tax it will need to be taken away on a recovery truck or trailer. It is not tax exempt but looking at the VOSA website it is £130 per year. As it is a classic vehicle, insuring it with companies like RH Insurance could be £100 or less depending on your age. Please feel free to ask any questions via Ebay Messaging or to arrange a viewing. NO PART EXCHANGES/SWAPS THANKS.
