SELLER'S NOTES
1965 VW Classic Beetle A very rare Australian import right hand drive. Beautiful unmolested VW beetle. Dexter is ready to move on to his new home. This car has a lot of potential - possibly to be a show car! All paperwork including original bill of sale garage certificate from 1965 plus import. Also have original Australian number plate. Loads of history and loads of character. This is not your average beetle. Original paint exterior (polar white on certificate) with fabulous patina giving him great unique character. Front wing has been varnished to preserve patina. Original glass, original headlights and fittings. Bumper original but needs work (cosmetic). Car has been totally cleaned and painted underneath last year. It’s solid. Engine completely overhauled and rebuilt in 2021 and is a 1300 twin port. Battery converted to 12v. New gearbox fitted. New brake cylinders and brand new tyres all round (white wall) and all wheels powder coated in cream - hub caps original. Whole list of work done all by Chris Finlay at VolksDreams (Chris is happy to talk you through everything he has done). I have all paperwork to show the extent of work, money and time invested. Also fitted with immobiliser. Runs beautifully. Great fun and eye catching car. I am very sad to see this go but circumstances have changed. Selling also with brand new speedmaster teardrop roof rack. Also a set of rear window blinds in ivory from JustKampers (need fitting). Interior does need a little tidying as completely original. Drivers seat has a tear - back and passenger in very good condition - all original. Floor has original vinyl - no carpet as Aussie bugs don’t have them! Viewing essential. No time wasters or tyre kickers please. Location Ely near Cambridge. Price £12,777 or sensible offers. More pictures or video/(happy to FaceTime) on request for serious buyers only. NO SWAPS! I am not interested in another car.
