Cool


Sadly rationalising the fleet means this one has to go!! ... just not getting any use any more..

been TSL'd a little... not perfect obviously for that money but pretty darn sound. and a scream to drive!

* New clutch with proper flywheel skim
* New discs and pads!!.. YES discs!!!
* EIBACHS AND GEOMETRY!!! ... SERIOUSLY!!
* Extractor exhaust with quiet pack on
* Golf GTi interior (adds 5 bhp)

ideal other car for when the scoob shouldn't be playing out!

insurance about 50p a year! ... classic you see
performance non existent!... it is the fastest beetle they ever made but that still only means about 50 bhp!!


say £800 ono!





12 months MOT.. please call if you need to know any stuff!

Cheers

A friend could be interested.

What's the milage? How good is the bodywork? That sort of info would be appreciated.
Does it come into the 'historic vehicle' tax bracket? M plate is borderline IIRC.

Cheers.

hi scoobyster

its pretty good... going in a few beetley places like rear quarter bottoms a little and the odd blister on the wings... but really solid generally... please give my number to them... if they like i can do a panel by panel picture library so they can assess the condition.

If hey are into Beetles they will know a. where to look and b. that this one is bl**dy cheap anyway!

cheers mate

we're not miles apart then......either in price or mileage... pop and have a look if you like, its here at TSL (much to Dad's disgust) ... if you know me, i am happy to haggle .... it needs to go, and i'd rather "gift" it to a real v-dubber than have it sitting there doing nowt!.. its not good for them!

Cheers

some pics as requested... very sorry its taken so long peeps!

....like i said... needs to go as i hate to see a car like this not getting daily use... these 1303's are the most sensible daily driver as they have "proper" brakes, suspension and steering and unusually for a beetle, a heater that actually raises the cabin temperature! ..

might even consider swapping it for some choice scooby bits for the express!

cheers

get some wire wool, and give those bumpers a rub - they will shine again!!

I own a '71 1300 that is going to get a Impreza engine one day (and no, it won't be a first!!)

Hi Paul.
I've printed your post for my friend, she's looking into insurance costs and convincing her parents that they need to buy a car for her! (She's 18, looking for her 1st car).
Neither I or she know much about Beetles, but having had a look in Autotrader, your price seems very reasonable.
I'll leave it up to my friend to contact you now.
Cheers,
Ben

Edited to ask if you could email me ( subaruweb@hotmail.com ) the photos, I'll show them to my friend. Also, could you give a milage figure, and does it get the free road tax?
