My one owner, 117k's 75L Bug
Craig Torrens - October 7th, 2007 at 01:46 AM
I bought this little beast from Vic in Dec 06. The car is a one owner, garaged from new 75L with 117K on the clock. I flew down to Melbourne and then
drove it back to Sydney.She cruised at 110KM/h all the way home averaging 7.5l per 100K's.

seats.................like the day they left the factory.
Craig Torrens - October 7th, 2007 at 02:03 AM
the paint under the guards is as good as the outside. I don't think the car has ever been on a dirt road !

Craig Torrens - October 7th, 2007 at 07:18 PM
hehehe..............no I think this will stay original !.............my wife has even told me to take the sprintstars off as they are not the
"original" wheels.
Dasdubber - October 7th, 2007 at 07:28 PM
Fantastic find Craig - amazing how well it has been preserved!
Craig Torrens - October 7th, 2007 at 07:59 PM

You COULD do that but the car would be worth squat as is any Volksy that doesn't have the original type air cooled engine.:thumb
That is one clean car man. Nice

Cheers Matt, it was hard to believe that the owner was unable to find a buyer for it in Vic...................was on the market for several months
!
The owner was a 89 year old women, and she had to sell due to her "walking frame" not being able to fit in the car.
So there's still good cars out there..........I wonder if they will ever sell to the value of a GTHO !!!!
