Lot details Registration No: XRB 39L Chassis No: 1122816832 Mot Expiry: Feb 2005
This 1972-built Volkswagen Beetle 1300, a righthand drive two-door saloon, has been fully refurbished by the Lant Lane Bodyshop of nearby Matlock, there being a restoration report with photos recording work in progress in the vehicle's documents file.
Renewed were front and rear wings as well as inner front wings and both front and rear panels, bonnet, door skins and boot lid. The new panels and the whole vehicle were then painted first with PPG Universal acid-based anti-corrosion etch primer followed by High Build D839 Primer, the underside being waxed and rust-proofed. The blue and purple paintwork is reportedly in excellent condition as is the blue leather interior, which has also been renewed along with the carpets and trim.
All the brakes have been renewed with the front ones converted to discs, whilst both the 1285cc four-cylinder air-cooled motor and four-speed manual transmission are said to be in very good order. This fun car is claimed to be an excellent runner and the colour is much admired wherever it goes.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
