very nice mate... will see if my dad can take it off your hands... i'l find out how much spare cash he has lol... is that your best price??
Sbug 71 ·
I might be able to move a little bit depending on whether you want NSW rego or not. I've invested a lot of money into this car and have recieplts for lots of $$$. I drive it about 60kms every day in all weather so it's reliable. I've been consistantly making changes and trying to improve it all the time.
Cheers.

Sorry Mate,
Can't separate.
It's a great car but without that engine it wouldn't be half as good.
Thanks anyway.

I could knock a bit off the price though and sell it unregistered to you. If I don't have to register it in NSW it would save me a bit of coin. I can pass that saving on and you could have the whole car and do what you like with it. I added up the receipts before and it came to more than double the asking price. That doesn't include what I paid for the car in the first place.
Cheers.

not a worry mate

New owner would be happy with this beetle....My wifes beetle has a 1916 built by the same angine builder..would be an awesome daily with enough poke.👍

I appreciate the kind comments lads. She's a lot of fun to drive and draws looks and comments from people everywhere, I just don't have the room to store her inside up here and with 3 school age kids and a toddler I struggle to find the time to spend on her.
Thanks again.

Hi I am teliing everybody about it as it is a bargain the motor alone is worth plenty good luck
i should by and seperate the motor and resell with a standard 1600 would end up being a cheap 1916
Sbug 71 ·
I did consider seperating and keeping the motor for a future project but as I mentioned before, no time no room. It would be a very cheap, well sorted run about with a standard 1600 in it for someone.
Cheers.
