1972 VW Beetle Baja, the original RHD California Factory built Show Car. for sale
Current customer rating: (205 votes ) based onOne for the serious collector. a barn stored (heated). Californian factory built Dry State RHD VW Beetle Baja show car built in 1972. it has only covered 34. 00 miles from new and has all matching numbers. A Californian VW main agent working with a specialist custom shop in Baja was requested to make this car specifically for a banker who resided in Cape Town. South Africa. so every top class extra they could develop was put on it.
This is an original 1972 Right Hand Drive from new and the car had Californian components put on it that were very advanced for the year. in fact there wasn't another Baja built like it. and has only been used for highway use. not off road.
The coachwork has thicker. nbsp;stronger panels painted in advanced (for 1972) Pearl white. with the original Baja logo in the bonnet mould. nbsp;toughened bullet proof glass to in-hinder armed kidnapping in 1970's South Africa. original leather and draylon seats. fully carpeted. nbsp;Californian rear side screen bubbles. 05+bhp performance 1660cc Twin Port engine. Twin Kadron carbs. nbsp;alloy pistons. steel rods. nbsp;performance machine work on heads and ported manifolds. nbsp;'S' type gearbox with H/Duty bearings and shafts. AP clutch and stronger drive shafts. The owner and car came over from South Africa to the UK in 1977 and the car was UK registered in 1977. The Beetle has been stored in a heated garage by the cars original family since 1977 until I purchased it in the early 1990's and I have also kept it stored. the car is all original except for two new 1972 period doors supplied and fitted by VW in 1999. nbsp; and the original floor is like new. The VW/Chevrolet main import dealer authenticates the car and I have the original log book and UK mot's. This is not in concours condition but excellent for the year. starts on the button every week and runs fresh un-leaded fuel.
This is a nice sound investment for someone who can be sure he owns something authentically special and not a copy or made by an amateur.
The car is stored in the Weybridge. Surrey area for viewing by appointment only. and delivery is possible to the purchaser if it helps you out. Contact Mike anytime on 07470-515408.
May consider a P/X against a non-VW competition / race car Honda Integra DC5/S2000 or others. or a late shape Shogun Sports / Land Rover Discovery WHU.
