| Comments : | We purchased the car on 28th August 2004 from first owner with only 43,000 miles, full service history, original bill of sale and order confirmation, all old MOT's and the first tax disc. The previous owner had given up driving due to her age and the car needed only a light restoration as it had been wax oiled when new. What was meant to be a 4 month restoration turned into 4 years,due to family commitments. The car had no rust and no welding had ever been necessary, much of the original chrome and body panels were re-used. The high back seats were fitted as a safety measure and new seat covers were fitted along with door cards (still have the original interior which is in superb condition). On its first outing it won Best Club Stand Car at Battlesbridge Car Show which made all the hard work and effort worthwhile. |

| Comments : | Lovingly known as 'Mozie' - VW Beetle Super Beetle Limited Edition Model. Dry stored in garage for 10 years. Was going to be renovated but move abroad forces sad sale. I am sure with a fresh battery this Bug would start. Generally tidy for age. Have 5 extra Big Wide Wheels to go with car. Beetle was very reliable when driven last - did 2,000 plus miles around France as can be seen in photo. Treated with anti rust agent in places (as can be seen in photo - red paint) Currently For Sale on EBAY |

| Comments : | It is with a heavy heart that i am having to sell my 1303s. It have MOT till July and tax till june, it is the big beetle edition, it is in original condition with some surface rust to the body but the underside looks to be in very good condition partly because of the low mileage but also because it has been undersealed most of its life. 3 previous owners, all from the same family. Bought new, sold to neice in 1979 who owned till 2006, bought by daughter in 2006 with intentions to restore for her son to learn to drive. I bought it in Oct 2008 with intentions to restore this summer. Having just found out the wife is pregnant, priorities change and i need a sensible car. I have put 4,000 miles on it, starts first time, every time in the rain or snow. Have had no mechanical problems, body work seems very stiff and should last quite a long time untouched but is prime for a restore. The heaters work and warm the car up really well.

| Comments : | VW Super Beetle was renovated a few years prior to my purchase in 2004, including a new engine. The car had new tyres in 2004 and they still retain 70% of the tread. The car was originally metallic blue but had been repainted white. The car starts, drives, and sounds superb. The brakes (front) are binding slightly and the body work is good. The car has mainly been used as part of an activities programme to stimulate EMI residents. I think very liitle work would be needed for the MOT (Brakes being the main item). The car fires first time and drives generally well. I like to think that i have finally got beetle mania out of my system. I would like to say there isn't a reserve price but I am expecting around £500 for the car. The car also benefits of very low classic car insurance £125.00 comp per year based on 2000 miles per year. I had all the MOTs from 1992. At present I have 1994, 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003. I also have the original sale invoice and warranty from beetlemania to the previous owner. Majority of the maintenance had been done by beetlemania of London until 2003. Carburetor (Solex) was replaced on 19/05/2002 including some of the steel piping. I have bills totaling over £1000.00 in the preceding few years to my purchase. I also have the letter of confirmation from VW confirming the construction date 12.08.1973. Currently For Sale on EBAY |

| Comments : | Advert on www.carandclassic.co.uk The MOT runs until 30th August 2008 and the tax the end of May. It is not tax exempt unfortunately – missed that by 6 months. Insurance is also very reasonable. We have had the car in the family for 10 years now and it’s always been totally reliable and is great fun to drive. It certainly turns heads and raises comments wherever you seem to go. There have only been 3 owners since new! All ladies too. The car comes with original log books and FULL SERVICE HISTORY!! The beetle still has the original engine - 65k on the clock - genuine miles. The car drives very well with a nice solid feel to it, unlike my first beetle! The car comes with a box of new and used spare odds and ends including paint that I had matched to the colour. The interior is well presented. There is a new CD player with USB for your mp3s and new speakers in the rear. The carpets are in great condition and has been kept clean by constant use of rubber mats. The heater to the floor is very good, And I have installed an extra heater for the screen which is powered by the lighter socket. It means that the screen clears up without you having to open the window in the cold weather! The engine always starts immediately hot, cold or sub zero. It doesn’t smoke, drip oil, or make odd noises. It has a standard exhaust with new tail pipes. All gears select perfectly. There is very little cosmetic rust to be seen, 2 wings and the bonnet have recently been resprayed. All of the window rubbers have been replaced. The running boards are in excellent condition and there are lots of shiny aluminum detailing making the car look quite special. I have just fitted 2 new bumpers to the car which makes it look shiny new. |

| Comments : | HISTORY We have records of this car (service receipts and equipment fitted) going back to 1988. My daughter purchased her in 1993. As it turned out she was a bad buy. From lack of Beetle experience and naivity we didn’t look closely enough at the important places. After struggling with her for a year it became obvious that she was going to be a constant struggle to keep safely on the road and in the long run she was heading for the knacker’s yard. We chose the alternative and took her off the road for three years during which we spent several thousand pounds and many hundreds of hours on her to bring her up to a good looking, safe and reliable vehicle. My daughter then drove her regularly until 2004. Since then she has been on the road only intermittently as my daughter trained to be a driving instructor and needed a more modern car. Alice has been mostly kept in my garage during this last four years and as I really would like my garage back and we would like someone else to enjoy Alice we have decided to sell her. CONDITION You can see Alice’s current top condition from the first four photographs. She was re-sprayed after our renovation 10 years ago; this top coat is getting a bit tired now and is showing some blistering in places, a few thinness spots and the usual chips. Some corrosion has appeared along the edge seams, at the bottom corners of the doors and at a few other spots; all of this has been treated and over-painted. This said you can see that she still polishes up very well and continues to look generally good. In the longer term a re-spray would, with little preparation, easily bring her back to tip-top condition. What is very special about Alice though is what lies beneath the surface. In the renovation she was stripped out thoroughly, de-rusted, repaired and then given a protective Hammerite coating inside and out. She was partly rewired and her engine stripped down and rebuilt. All areas like suspension, steering and brakes were dismantled and rebuilt with new components where necessary. All seals, window rubbers, door rubbers and gaskets were replaced. The interior was re-carpeted and the original seating was good enough to be kept with minor repairs. Photos five to ten show examples of some of this and the interior [No 7 is from the renovation period]. The buyer will be supplied with all the bills showing what was purchased and I will supply lots of photographs showing what was done at various stages. Currently For Sale on EBAY - Mileage: 66,000 |

| Comments : | I've owned this neat little car since 1999, but now I must let it go. The ownership history is as follows: - Date of purchase new was 13 Nov 1973. Then she was sold to a chap called John Roberts on 23 July 1976. John ran this car until 11 June 1999 which is when I bought her for my wife to use. She is more of a bug-head than I am. The car was a moss green colour and the paint was somewhat faded. She also needed a little care and attention, but that was superficial. In 2004 I sent her in for a makeover and she came back the colour, which is Mercedes Green. I liked it and that is the colour she has remained. We also christened her “Mercedes” which we all know is a name given to a girl child. That is how she has been treated all these years, with love and attention. She has a great presence on the road and the engine is the original as listed in the log book. I have previously been asked if the mileage is original, and can honestly say that my wife only used the car for short runs, to the shop and back and once in a while we took her to Scotland. She starts first time every time and is ready to roll without having to wait for that warm-up malarkey. I have once again examined her all over and report the following information. The engine and gearbox are mechanically perfect in every respect, no end float nor irregular noises. Instant start and instant response. I've taken her over 85mph on the East Lancs. and she runs and handles well. No creaks or groans. No binding of the brakes and handles well overall. Engine could do with a little makeup if desired, by that I mean cosmetically. Absolutely no mechanical work needed. Body wise, she was refurbished in January 2004 at a cost of £1175.00 by a professional body shop. The invoice is available for examination subject to purchase. On examining the bodywork today I can report that there is no significant work to be done, although I would advocate that the under body be re-rubberised. It helps to deaden the road noise and protects as well. There is some cosmetic work to be done obviously, but that is all. No welding or bodywork required. Recently I learned that this is a limited edition and is much sought after given that it is a limited edition. Currently For Sale on EBAY - Mileage: 49,928 |

| Comments : | Extensive restoration was done by the previous owner, so car is in great condition, inside and out, with only a couple of slight cosmetic blemishes on the paintwork, but nothing really noticeable until right up close. All the interior was restored (new carpets/upholstery) and still retains all of the original features and charm. Since I've owned it, I've had the engine completely replaced with a new Remtec 1600cc (Aug 2006), a new clutch, new heat exchange, replaced the carburator, replaced the fuel lines, had the electrics rewired.

| Comments : | Currently For Sale on EBAY My wife and I bought this car shortly after our honeymoon in September 2007 and we have really enjoyed having her. Talk about a great buy, she is so solid and has NEVER let us down. We stumbled accross her whilst away camping and fell in love with her straight away. She started her life as a courtesy car at a Volkswagen dealership back in the 1970's. In later years she was bought by a lovely family who had her for the remainder until we came along. The car needed alot of work when they bought her and the son being a qualified engineer spent a number of years rebuilding her: all new suspension, quick shift gear box, clutch, body panels, seals, lights, rebuilt engine, etc. I mean she was overhauled. The car had sat for15 years in a garage being started up occassionally to keep the engine ticking over and the reason it was sold was because it was not being used. They even ran it through a new MOT in September 2007 at the very own Volkswagen dealership she started her life. They did a structural and mechanical survey and the only thing needed doing was the replacement of 2 tyres as they had buldges from where it sat still for all those years. She is 98% rust free, with slight bobbling on the rear wheel arch (no drama) and the upholstery is ripped as you can see but because it is original we decided not to change it. |

| Comments : | VW Big Beetle Home History In 1990 I was on the lookout for my first car. I had for many years wanted a VW Beetle. I spotted one in the paper for £200 and went to have a look at it. It was a 1970 1200 that had been fitted with a 1300 engine. It was on it's last legs. The owner said the only way to get it to start was to pour a little petrol down the carb first. I decided to give it a miss. A few weeks later after no success in finding a cheap reasonable Beetle my Dad and I decided to go to the local car dealer to look at some 'modern' cars, i.e. Ford Escorts and the like. To my suprise, hidden round the back of the garage was a silver 1303S. Straight away I was hooked although at £1500 is was well out of my budget. The test drive was interesting. The garage owner kept selecting reverse when we were travelling forward (later found to be a wrongly aligned gear lever base plate). This hadn't put me off and I decided I had to have it. The garage owner said that a girl was ready to buy it but couldn't get the cash. My parents kindly borrowed the money for me and I paid them back each week over a few years. First thing I did was to get it up on the ramps. After much prodding and poking it was apparent that the heater channels were on their way out. I bit the bullet and decided to do a full restoration. Seventeen years later, I still own my Big Beetle. It is now parked up at my parents ready for it's second restoration. My daily driver is now a Silver VW Polo due to the distances I have to travel.

| Comments : | http://www.aircooledunlimited.co.uk History Our ‘Big Beetle’ was produced on 14th November 1973. And was then sold by Bridge Motor Works (Leicester) Ltd. Abbey Lane, Leicester (the main VW Dealers in Leics. at that time) to Mr Roger Whiteman on February 8th 1974. After almost 2 years Roger (who was emigrating) sold the car to his father. Mr Tom Whiteman kept the car until 6th April 1977, when he part-exchanged it for a VW Golf at Johnson’s Garages (Hinckley) Ltd. In June 1977 Mrs. Kathleen Derbyshire, of Groby, Leics. purchased it. She had the car for just over 6 years, when she passed away her husband, Mr. John Derbyshire, then owned the car for a further 5 years, when he too passed away. The car then went to his nephew, Mr. Leslie Cooper, of South Wigston, Leics. He kept the car until December 1992, when he sold it to Paul Mann as a spares or repair, MOT failure. Paul was unfortunately made redundant and could not afford to fix the car; he then sold it to us on 6th July 1993. At some time the car has been fitted with a sun-roof. We restored the car & in 1995 had it re-sprayed in the original colour. It has been used as a daily driver since 1998 & is not garaged. We are no longer using the original engine but still has 1600 TP. We are now at the point where another re-spray needs doing!

| Comments : | The car is in excellent condition. I have had it for over 4 years and has been an incredibly reliable car. Before me drastic work was carried out on it, stripped down to the chasis and pretty much re built. Since I have had it, it has only needed routine maintenance for MOTs and a paint job. With the car I can provide an extensive history of the car, including photos of its re build, reciepts of what has been done to the car over the years, registration documents, service history (MOT expires sept 09) and insurance details. The car otherwise known as 'scotty' is in excellent condition for a its age. It was bought for me to learn to drive in, planned to be kept for about a year, it has exceeded our expectations and I have now had it for 4 years and a few months. It is my first car and I would love to pass it onto someone like myself or someone who can maintain its current condition and keep him running regularly. He has served me well through university and I hope he can do the same for someone else. Currently For Sale on EBAY |
