I'm hoping the car I'm looking at tomorrow is the what I hope it is.
If so, I'll be back in a beetle for the first time in 30+ years!

As it's a mid 60's swing axle, are the old style compensator springs still availale?
I swear one of these saved my life (not to mention three other uni mates) in the late 60's through Swansea bends.:o

yep swayaway still make them. most VW shops should be able to get one for you.

closest to old style would be the CB one, wouldn't it? though it mounts to the gearbox and not the horns.

The 66 beetle is exactly what I wanted!
So, I'll be asking the gurus for their opinions real soon.
