PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This Super beetle is a 1979 American spec injected convertible, with a livery of Florida blue and a white roof.  The car was placed on blocks and put into dry storage in 1995 and has not been driven since.  Whilst in storage the underbody was oiled and greased to protect the underside from future corrosion.  It shared dry storage with two other VWs.  See YouTube link ,VW barn finds safedrive.  The original intention was to export the Super beetle to Portugal to the home of the owner. Due to the age of the owner we were commissioned to recover the three vehicles and sell them on his behalf.  Two of the VWs were in need of restoration and have since found new homes. As the super beetle was in a truly unbelievable condition the decision was made to recommission for road use. THE CAR With a believed genuine mileage of just 10k and almost concourse condition of the body, paintwork, roof and interior there were no repairs needed.  There is nothing to do other than admire the incredible condition of this rare vehicle. FUELLING ISSUE Due to the car being in storage for 26 years the fuel had vaporized causing the lining of the tank to be compromised.  The entire fuel system has been overhauled with new tank, sender unit, pump, filters, fuel tanks lines, pump relay, maf sensor and rebuilt injectors.  The engine runs but is still overfuelling.  After further investigation it was discovered that all of the injectors are pulsing on every stroke hence the overfuelling.  Research tells us that this is not an uncommon problem with the bosch l jetronic systems and requires a replacement ECU.  To change the ECU is a very simple and quick procedure, however although there are not too many available in the UK, they appear to be plentiful in the United states. We are no longer in a position to complete this commission due to retirement and closure of the business. SALEThis vehicle is being sold as a NON-RUNNER and will need to be trailered .In my 55 years of experience in the industry, I believe when running, it would grace any garage forecourt at £20k or more.  Due to the ECU issue the bidding will start at £10,000 with no reserve.   Cleared funds will be required before removal of vehicle. THIS IS NOT A RUSTY, TAMPERED WITH, RESTORATION JOB Viewing highly recommended and all questions answered
