very nice

Out of interest whats the going rate for one of these?

I see quite a few of them every so often and I don't think they'd be that expensive

That looks like the previous owner spent a lot of time and money to bring it up to such a high standard, you must be very pleased with it. Late 50s or early 60s model? Standard engine or uprated?
How are you finding the left hand drive?

Cheers it’s a 1966 German import

It’s got a 1.6 engine and independent rear suspension setup that enables beetle gearbox fitment so has longer gears better top end

Lhd not an issue to be fair

Yes he spent a lot time and well chosen spends, it’s got a compressor 12v fridge so lasts ages on leisure battery, he fitted a blow air gas heating system which is brilliant.
