COMES WITH A FEW SPARE PARTS

HI AND WELCOME TO THE AUCTION OF MY MARATHON BEETLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN OWNED FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS BY A CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND AND HAS HAD A LOT OF MONEY SPENT DOING ALL THE USUAL BEETLE PROBLEM JOBS. THE TIME CAME FOR HIM TO PART WITH IT AND IT ENDED UP IN MY HANDS. I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP IT BUT DUE TO HAVING A BIG WORKS VAN. MY OWN ESCORT VAN AND THE MISSUS'S CAR I JUST HAVN'T GOT THE ROOM. AND WE HAVE A BABY DUE IN 8 WEEKS TIME SO UNFORTUNATLEY IT HAS TO GO. IT IS A VERY RELUCTANT SALE BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. I DONT REALLY HAVE A CHOICE.

 

NOW ABOUT THE CAR.   IT IS A LIMETED EDITION MARATHON BEETLE WITH CERIFICATE AND THE MAEDALLION TO MAKE IT AUTHENTIC. VOLKSWAGON MADE IT TO CELEBRATE BEATING THE PRODUCTION CAR SALES OF THE FORD MODEL T WITH THE BEETLE. THEY ARE VERY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AS THERE WERE ONLY AROUND 5000 MADE IN THE WORLD.   IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE PLEASE CALL AND ASK OR SEARCH MARATHON BEETLE ON THE WEB.

 

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL RUNNING CAR. AND IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. IT HAS GOT 2 OR 3 VERY SMALL PATCHES OF SURFACE RUST. THE LAQUER IS FLAKEING ON THE ROOF. I HAVE PICTURES OF THESE TO SEND IF YOU WOULD LIKE THEM. THE FRONT SEATS HAVE RIPS IN THEM BUT I HAVE A FULL SET OF BRAND NEW SEAT COVERS THAT WILL GO WITH THE CAR. I HAVE A FRONT AND REAR BUMPER AND A FULL SET OF FRONT BRAKES THAT WILL ALSO COME WITH IT.

 

NOW FOR THE ENGINE SOMEWHERE IN THE BIG PILE OF PAPER WORK I HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR THE RECON UNLEADED ENGINE THAT WAS FITTED A FEW YEARS AGO. SO NO BUYING EXTRA SUPPLEMENTS TO PUT IN THE TANK.   IT HAS HAD THE AUTO CHOKE REMOVED SO IT RUNS BETTER. IT HAS HAD DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTOR FITTED TO ALSO MAKE IT MORE DRIVEABLE.

 

I HAVE MORE PHOTOS IF ANYONE WANTS THEM EMAILING PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT TO MAKE A SERIOUS OFFER OR ARRANGE VIEWING PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ANYTIME ON 07816 934375.

 

ALSO CAN ARRANGE DELIVERY AT COST TO BUYER.
