G'day From an Irishman in Bendigo

Hi

Just recently joined the forum and this is my first post! Im the proud owner of a 1965 Type 1. I just bought it recently.

It has been well looked after by its previous owners. I have receipts going back 20 years, showing all the work carried out on the car. I also have the original service book but am dubious about its authenticity but not to worry. As far as I understand its mostly if not totally original mechanically and in bodywork. In total it has traveled 94k miles and runs very well.

Look forward to being a contributor to the forum. No doubt I will be looking for advice down the line. In the meantime, here are some photos taken recently:

Nice beetle, looks like it's had an easy life so far ;)

Yeah, I think so. Very lucky with this one, its a little gem. Been garaged all its life and well serviced throughout.

Gday mate. Head over to http://www.melburgluft.com  and say hello. We have a few Bendigo guys who would be pleased to meet a new local member. Josh.
