Just in case anyone is interested in a 76 beetle, I found this on gumtree:

FYI I don't know the seller or anything about it so pls contact the seller directly.

And there so another one as well that's been up there for a while:

Maybe 76's aren't so hard to come by these days.......

Bugger, just my luck. I was searching for one for 12months but gae up a few weeks back and bought a 73 1300 model. I like the look of the red one.
