FBF 291Y. Volkswagen Beetle 1303S Karmann Beetle convertible.

I bought her in 2003 (over 10 years ago) from a lady in West London who had owned her since 1989 (14 years). Pre 1989 there were 2 London based keepers. the first of which imported her via VAG (UK) of Milton Keynes from Italy ie warmer climbs. I inherited a large folder of receipts and photos showing at least 2 major refurbishment projects.

In my ownership she has always been garaged and never driven in the rain - in fact I have probably only covered about 2. 00 miles in her in the past 10 years.

In 2008 she was given to a family friend who spent about a year in his workshop stripping her down. panel by panel. screw by screw. A meticulous rebuild. He sprayed the car in Mars Red. an original VW Beetle paint colour and we fitted a brand new Bernard Newbury custom interior which included driver. passenger and rear bench seats. carpets. door cards and inserts etc (http://www. bernardnewbury. co. uk/).

Following the rebuild Newton Motorsport fitted a new 1600cc engine. electrics. clutch. brakes. etc.

I estimate the cost for this was well over £15. 00 - most of this is covered by receipts. invoices etc and we have plenty of photographs.

This is my favourite ever car. Problem is I never drive it! I have probably covered 1. 00 miles since the work.

I am selling because I do not drive her enough - I have a young family and another baby on the way.

She has just passed her MOT so you will get an MOT until mid May 2014. Tax discs are free being a historic vehicle. I insure her for £100 per year via Lancaster Classic Car Insurance.

This is a 40 year old used car so please do not expect a concours example! This is however a very decent example of a real classic!

I have spoken to quite a few people on this. The car is located in Saddleworth Greater Manchester and any viewings are most welcome.

Starts on the button every time! New battery recently fitted.

Open to any offers - 07739754548 - she is here to be sold!!
