FS: 74 L Bug with 1916 - Sold
At the Australia day display on the town green in Port Macquarie, Garry Hargraves spoke to me about a 74 L bug he had restored for his daughter, but
after getting it on the road with a Pobjoy 1916 (it was in the car when he bought it, but it has only done about 10,000kms), he decided it was a bit
much for a new driver, so he got her a bubble car is is now selling the L bug.
74 L bug - $12,000 ono
Seller - Garry Hargraves - 0458 484451 (he is not on the forum, so you will have to ring him).
7th month 74 build.
Current NSW rego with 'BUG 74V' number plates
1916cc Pobjoy engine with twin Kadron carburettors - about 10,000kms.
No rust - Garry has been right through it, replaced any rust areas, and re-sprayed the car.
Empi 8 spoke mag. wheels.
Extra front sway bar.
Berg shifter & sports steering wheel.
1 piece door windows.
Updated front seats.
Back seat isnt' original, and has a big gap between the seat cushion & the seat back.
Looks like a damn good car to me.
And here is a short video of it running.
Garry is not on the forum as I said above, but he lives in Port Macquarie (in Hill St. I think), so ring him on his phone number above for more info.
From your ole' mate Jeff

back when Whiteline Swaybars Australia was manufacturing swaybars , you had an option of 2 different types of front swaybars for a Superbug/L-bug .
You could purchase a large diameter front sway bar to replace the original or you could purchase an assist front swaybar ( like this one ) which
clamped to the original swaybar . I have personally used this type and they work really well .

Thanks Turboty. It is a great rust free car, but he is looking at what he has spent on it more than what he can sell if for I think.
Considering there is very little to do on it, it is still not a bad price.

Another price Drop.
Garry has just put another 12 months rego. on the bug, but really would like to sell it, so another price drop to $8,000.
I can't believe this top looking bug hasn't had more interest.

Nice to know it has a home. Removes temptation.
I recently crashed my own L bug and if it had been written off I was going to hotfoot it north and buy this. But Shannons decided to repair it.
I'm really glad though, as I'm quite attached to Olive.
