Lot Ended
Description
Current owner 14 years; fully restored including new engine;
Porsche 944 seats; Fuchs-style alloys; eye-catching purple paint; lots to
like
Affectionatley knows as Precious, this Beetle was discovered by
our vendor languishing in a Welsh barn in September
2011. The car was towed back to Llandrindod Wells where it became apparent
that the engine was seized, the wheels were a bit wobbly due to the lack of
bearings, there were no brakes and the bodywork
required attention.
Since then Precious has been completely restored and
repainted in Rover purple. A new engine has been fitted along with
reupholstered seats from a Porche 944 and a lovely set of replica
Porsche Fuchs wheels, much of the work documented in photos and notes on
file.
In 2016 Precious was on the road once again, turning heads, giving
the vendor many happy days out. Only reluctantly for sale due to a change
in circumstances, Precious shows 34,212 miles on the clock and is, of course, free to tax and MOT
exempt.
