Presented here is a rather rare, un-welded, 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, returning from an outstanding re-paint and interior refurbishment. This Beetle features the 1200cc, air-cooled engine, producing 40HP, and is coupled with the 4 speed, manual box.

 

This cherished Beetle has spent the prior 5 years in dry-storage after having the interior thoroughly and excellently refurbished, along with having its original grey colour, resprayed on. Throughout its life it has passed through 8 previous owners, racking up a genuine, total mileage of 87189 miles. Unfortunately, the car is offered with very little service history, and with the need for some recommissioning. 

 

The areas needing attention are:

-Fuel tank/system cleaned out

-Brakes need going through

-Fluid changes 

-Valve adjustment

-Rear engine oil seal

-Possibly the clutch assembly

-Possibly the heat exchangers

 

This car is offered in a brilliant cosmetic condition, having had a necessary refurbishment, to return to it to its iconic, original-looking state. Some work is required to return the mechanical condition back up to scratch, however the end-product will certainly be worth it as this car is a real character and will definitely bring pleasure to its next owner.
