….Classic VW Beetle. Cream paintwork. Very low mileage. 17,000 miles. Taxed and Tested. 20 years of MOTs. 1300cc Green engine. Runs nicely. It’s a great daily runner or could be a winter restoration project for you. My 19 year old son has driven this for the last 2 years and loved it – its a lot cooler when a 17 year old drives a classic car as opposed to the characterless modern vehicles. We had the driver’s side full floorpan replaced with new heater channel and running board 18 months ago. Passenger floorpan has also been replaced in the last 5 years. Genuine reason for sale – my son is going travelling. On 28-Mar-18 at 14:43:37 BST, seller added the following information:

….FOR SALE1972 1200L getting rare in standard form. Restored some 6 years ago. It took me an absolute age to find this car. I wanted to buy one that had already been restored rather than spend thousands on a heap. I have owned this car for approx 5 years and have done around 4000 miles since then. I have a few photos of the restoration from the previous owner that included plenty of welding and many new parts. Engine rebuild and a total respray inside and out including the engine bay. The engine and car was rebuilt/ restored prior to me buying it using many new parts. Bog standard apart from lowered suspension bespoke interior from a professional upholsterer, fully dressed engine. Drives as it should, starts on the button and is very smooth, no rattles etc. 5 yes, 5 new tyres less than 500 miles ago, with whitewalls. Decent sound system with sub taking up the area behind the rear seats. It has an alarm system but I’ve never used this as always garaged. Mot till November I have done 150 miles since it passed! I am using as my daily driver so the mileage will go up. Tax exempt, cheap insurance! Reason for sale …………… loss of garage, my other car was written off. Need to buy another as I spent the insurance money. Viewing more than welcome by prior arrangement.The bad bits. Small amount of bubbling coming through on the gutter rails. A few age related marks mainly dent on bonnet handle where some wally backed into it. Recent new bumper and dome hubcaps . I have kept the old hubcaps as they are expensive to replace.

….Up for sale is my 1965 1200 Volkswagen Beetle. I’ve owned ‘Ruby’ since 2008 and she was on the road up to and used regularly until 2013 when she failed her MOT on some rot in the near side heater channel. She was then parked up under a cover and now I’ve realised it is time to pass on and let someone else enjoy. Prior to my ownership she was restored from original Sea Blue to the Red she now wears. I have some history and can speculate this was in the 80/90s. In my ownership the engine has been rebuilt (it is original) and generally a good standard of maintenance achieved, until she went off the road. She runs and moves freely around the drive and see the following link for more detailed photos and video of the engine running: https://www.facebook.com/oliver.hoare.94/videos/a.10155024088332563.1073741828.515867562/10155024089967563/?type=3 & https://www.facebook.com/oliver.hoare.94/media_set?set=a.10155024088332563.1073741828.515867562&type=3 If you can’t see the links working message me your phone number and I will WhatsApp the video and images. She is stock height, has the original engine, gearbox and registration document. The heat exchangers are also VW not repo. Also a selection of spares and parts come with, again see photos. There are paint bubbles appearing in various places and some paint cracks. I believe the interior door cards to be aftermarket. Headliner also deteriorating. Mechanically she is pretty solid. Original ignition barrel included too. Pictures were taken 31st March 2018. Inspection also very welcome, if you aren’t viewing please view the Facebook album to see in detail the overall condition. Ruby is located at my parents in Alton, Hampshire GU34, I am in Cornwall, but my dad is very familiar with the history. Genuinely gutted to see her go, but I haven’t used her in nearly 5 years, she looks knockout, but starting to age. It is time to go to someone who will use her. £200 non-refunable deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of auction ending. Remaining due as cash on collection only please. Reserve lowered by £500 as it didn’t sell last time.

….For sale is my 1971 VW beetle, 1200 style with no air vents at the rear. 1200 engine. Tax exempt. No current mot but goes mot exempt in may!! Basically when i did all the work i took it for an mot and it passed with only one advisory of being the front apron needing possible welding by next year due to some corrosion. I used it for that year just going back and forth to work (10 mile trip x 5 per week) and i have since had a child. So got loaned a Ford Ka… I used that for a year and now it has to go back…and i need a modern car for my child. So i need to sell the bug for a deposit on a newer car. I’m a little gutted as i have had it for so long and put many hours into it. It starts by a push button and a hidden switch under the dash. The ignition block is just for the steering lock and to give an impression you need keys to start. Good Bits. It has been stored in a garage ever since i owned it. (7-9 years) roughly. It has had… 2 new heater channels, 2 new floor pans, new starter motor, new brake lines, new master cylinder, new wheel brake cylinders, new wheel bearings all round, new brake pads, new clutch and throw out bearing, new shocks at the rear, new 009 distributer, leads and spark plugs. new handbrake cables. rebuilt carburettor It has an adjustable beam on the front and has been lowered by i believe one spline on the rear, i haven’t had any problems with speed bumps and grounding. All tyres have very good tread and not near limits. The two front tyres are smart car tyres with chunkier tyres on rear. Seats are in good condition and has no visible tears. Rear valance is removable for easy to access engine work. Has an early ‘W’ decklid. Has had new running boards but door issue has damaged one side (see below). New electric window washer installed. Empi 8 alloys although hand painted could be painted properly. New indicator stalk and relay. Not so good bits. Front apron needs attention. Front bumper brackets are non existent and have had the slots filled. The front O/S wing needs replacing as its corroding around light rim. The drivers top door hinge pin is bent/fallen and the door has corrosion on the bottom but i have a solid door to replace it. On the O/S between the bottom right of door and front wing there is a crack/corrosion. O/S rear wing has been dented and bent so will need replacing/repairing. Paintwork is hand painted so although it looks good in pictures it does have some runs and a orange peel (done with a roller) Engine starts and runs but it does leak, i have replaced the flywheel seal at the rear when replacing the clutch and rocker cover seals. Probably best to do a rebuild? Currently needs a new ball joint and tie rod end boot on N/S front. I have an image gallery which i will post the link to below. If link does not work please message me and i can forward it across. As the car has no current mot the car would need to be towed back, or trailered home. I have the car advertised elsewhere and so i reserve the right to remove it from sale if a buyer approaches me from another avenue. https://postimg.org/gallery/h7zj6yyk/ I have tried to be as honest as i can with it. I welcome offers and will consider them. Thank you for taking the time to look, i shall try my best to answer all questions asked. Person who purchases the car must pay and collect within 5 days otherwise the car will be relisted. updated with correct year as its a 1971 not a 1972. I’ve added the results from the MOT history checker from the governments webpage to prove that it was first registered in 1971 as there has been some confusion on a different selling avenue. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mot-changes-20-may-2018 Link to the mot changes happening for anyone looking for more information.

….Lofoten green 1200. Late model stocker Lovely late model bug with lots of history. Drives really well, has that crisp chirp that you only get from a nice little stocker. Paint is very good. Wings are gel coated Day Moulding originals. Headlining is perfect as is the un cut dashboard. Seats are very good with only a torn seam so repairable. Floors are good but it needs inner wing, front clip, channel bottoms and pan repairs. See pics. Fantastic colour combination. You don’t need to paint it or renew the interior, engine and running gear is all good. It’ll make a beautiful little car that really stands out! Two sets of keys and extensive history file.
