Up for sale my `71 bug with 1911cc engine.

I have owned it for 2 and a half years now. Previous owner carried out a body-off restoration in 2011. Repainted in Gulf blue period colour(it was blue originally too).

New: brake system(tandem master cylinder. hard lines. flexi lines. brake shoes and pads. front discs) rubber seals. shock absorbers. CB performance dropped spindles. window seals. rubbers seals. oatmeal carpet. clutch cable. handbrake cables. 2inch narrowed adjustable front beam from coolair.

Engine is a rebuilt W code bottom end with new Keith Black 96mm barrels and pistons. Job was done by RNJ Motorsport: ported and polished heads. balanced crank assembly. match weighted pistons. match weighted and polished rods. webcam 163 camshaft. scat lifters. cr-mo pushrods. heavy duty valve springs. cr-mo retainers. swivel ball adjusters. new bearings. seals. gasket. Compression ratio: 8. 5:1. Kennedy stage 1 clutch. and conversion flywheel. nbsp;Weber 40 IDF carburettors. BAS Ahnendorp merged collector exhaust system.

Engine was fitted using the Joe Cali conversion method: custom made alternator stand and tin ware. Oil cooler plumbed in to the stock type 1 doghouse fan shroud.

Set of 5 later style Pedrini alloys from a Porsche 914 with correct wheel bolts.

New tyres back and front. Wheel tracking has been set up.

Everything works on the car as should. One key operates all doors. nbsp;decklid and ignition.  

Electric washer bottle conversion.  Electric fuel pump conversion.

I waxoiled underneath about 4 months ago.

It has a nasty looking hole in the spare wheel well due to a workshop mishap back in 2011.

Original vw stamped Europa bumpers.

Drivers seat has 2 rips on the top of seat back.

No fancy gearstick or sporty steering wheel. I like the stock appearance.

No radio or speakers fitted.

Car isn`t extremely low as I wanted something that is driveable. Engine gives around 25mpg driving around town and 35 on motorways.

Exhaust is very quiet thanks to the inline double silencers(Bosal). so it wont drive you crazy even on the long trips.

MOT until Febr 2015. tax exempt.

Test drives welcomed.
