A bloke who used to be in our club a few years ago is moving house and no longer has room for his bug, and he hasn't been using it. He is asking $3,500 ONO. He told me that he put a battery in it the other day and it ran staight away, still on the 9 year old fuel in the tank. The only problem he has was the front brakes were sticking on a bit, but probably only need cleaning out and new brake fluid. Here is his cover letter for the photos he sent me. If anyone is interested, give me a ring on 0418 841581. The car is at Kundabung (between Port Macquarie & Kempsey).

"Hi Jeff
I think it's a 1970 model.automatic. It;s honey tan in colour,black inside. I had the motor done up got the car registered in 2000, and only drove it a couple of times before buying the Porsche,and parking theVW in the shed fo the last 9 years."

Had a phone call this afternoon from a bloke called Terry McKinnon - he used to subcontract for me quite a bit with his backhoe up untill a few years ago - he has just bought this bug. Neil (the bloke selling it) had it stored at Terry's place while he was waiting for it to sell, and Terry ended up deciding to buy it himself. I think he only needs to have the brakes done, and he can get it registered, so hope to see it on the road and at club meetings soon.

Thats exactly what i was going to say.
