Ex-Japan!

You are right, it is a great Beetle, just bad timing 🙅

I have only had the car from January (thus the report from Gold Coast VW is current!) purchased from the owner in QLD, and have spent quite a few $1000 on floor pans and struts.

My loss is someone elses gain (or will be!!)

why did you replace the pan halves, were they rusty ?

Is the rest of the car original, like original paint and motor etc or has it been restored ?

Cheers

Two small rust spots on pans, so decided to replace full pan halves, cost over $3K ( have receipts).

No other restoration that I am aware of, motor original with nil issues.

Great stock car that could be easily left or customised as per buyers wishes.

Price Dop- $14,950!!!

This car would be a great base for a German Looker Cabriolet, see this months issue of VWMA:

Yes, you are right, I still can't believe that this is up for grabs!!

The only other two cabriolets for sale on the internet are $19500 (LHD) and $30,000, which are clearly more expensive, and LHD less desirable (in my mind anyway).

There must be someone who can justify it! 🤪
