CLASSIC LEFT HAND DRIVE BUG VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1600i MEXICAN OPEN/RAG TOP MEXIBUG

** THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE. USED ONLY ON DRY DAYS DURING THE SUMMER - SO YES NOT VERY OFTEN **

I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I AM IN NO RUSH WHAT SO EVER TO SELL THIS CAR - IT MAY SOUND SAD BUT I LOVE IT TO PIECES & IT'S ONLY ONE OF TWO CARS THAT I'VE OWNED FOR LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY I'M LISTING IT FOR SALE BUT I THINK THE MAIN THOUGHT AT THE BACK OF MY MIND IS THAT I'VE GOT A SON WHOS JUST A FEW MONTHS OLD & I KNOW THAT IN THE SUMMER I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE THIS AT WEEKENDS LIKE I USED TO BE ABLE TO AS I WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BEETLE.

SO RATHER THAN IT BE SAT HERE ALL OVER WINTER. SPRING & SUMMER AWAITING THE WEATHER TO BE NICE AGAIN. THEN NOT BE ABLE TO USE. I MAY ASWELL ADVERTISE AND TAKE IT FROM THERE.

FINISHED IN CLASSIC GREEN METALLIC WITH OLD ENGLISH WHITE DOWN THE SIDES
ORIGINAL WHEELS PAINTED GLOSS BLACK & FITED WITH WHITEWALL INSERTS & ORIGINAL CHROME HUB CAPS.

** AIR CONDITIONING & ELECTRIC FOLDING RAG TOP **

THE INTERIOR IS ALL ORIGINAL MEXICAN SPEC & HAS AN UNCUT DASHBOARD (NO STEREO). YET ALL WIRED IN IF NEEDED.

FIRST REGISTERED IN MEXICO 1998 & COVERED JUST 65. 00KMS (Circa 40. 00 Miles)

I HAVE UPGRADED THE REAR LAMPS TO SMOKED BUT ORIGINALS ARE INCLUDED. I HAVE ALSO FITTED CHROME EYE LIDS TO FRONT HEADLIGHTS & I ALSO REMOVED THE REAR DECK LID RUBBER VENT COVER/SPOILER BUT THIS AGAIN IS INCLUDED.

UNLIKE MOST MEXICAN BEETLES IN THE UK - THIS HASN'T BEEN CONVERTED TO RHD & WAS BUILT FOR THE AMERICAN MARKET. HENCE THE AIR CONDITIONING & ELECTRIC FOLDING RAG TOP CONVERSION.

AFTER IT SPENT A SHORT SPELL IN THE STATES IT WAS SHIPPED OVER TO JAPAN. IT WAS THEN IMPORTED FROM JAPAN TO THE UK IN 2008 WHERE IT HAD JUST 1 MATURE UK OWNER BEFORE MYSELF - I PURCHASED IN APRIL 2013.

HE FITTED THE 1960'S STYLE NUMBER PLATE PLUS HAD THE WHITE DOWN THE SIDES TO REPLICATE A BEETLE HE OWNED WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER. ME PERSONALLY I THINK THIS IS A VERY NICE TOUCH & CONFUSES MANY MANY PEOPLE.
THIS WOULD ORIGINALLY HAVE BEEN ON A UK "R" REG.

THE CONDITION OF MY BEETLE CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS PERFECT. I FEEL THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST MEXICAN BEETLE AVAILABLE THAT DOESN'T NEED RESTORING & ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN BODGED UP PRIOR TO ADVERTISING

I FULLY UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT THE CHEAPEST - BUT THE WAY I SEE IT IS - FIND ME ANOTHER THE SAME. YOU CAN'T. !!!
AND THAT'S THE REASON I PURCHASED IT AND KEPT AS MY OWN. BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT.

I'LL GET SOME MORE PHOTGRAPHS ON VERY SOON & MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CAR RATHER THAN MYSELF

PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFO OR VIEWINGS IN THE MEANTIME.

MANY THANKS. MATTHEW
