B]FOR SALE: VW Beetle 1303 Karmann Cabrio[/B]
Right it is going to be a scorcher this week and having had the cab tucked up in the garage all winter waitng for days like these I realise that 120-150 miles a day drives are best served by my Passat TDi and really the cabrio just isn't getting used, so it is reluctantly offered for sale
Excellent condition Italian Import bug, built/restored by Paul and Bob Knight (http://www.classicvw.co.uk) as Paul’s own ride, bought by myself in 2002 and has led a pampered life since used for shows and sunny days. 6 months MOT and 6 months tax
Pictures taken Wednesday 22 August 2007
Mech’s
1600cc stock engine (apart from OO9 dizzy)
S spec gearbox (better cruising rpm’s)
Kerscher adjustable coilover shocks
Red9Design rear spring plates
Body
Side trim, bonnet trim removed
Custom early style decklid vents
Badging removed
Custom orange and navy chequered Bra
Interesting ‘YME 88N’ number plate that draws attention to the car and always gets comments (silver on Black and ‘standard’ and yellow and white plates included)
Navy mohair hood in excellent condition, no rips, tears etc…
Interior
Recaro front seats
Navy dashboard
Navy rear seat
Navy door panels
Porsche steering wheel
Empi trigger shifter
Area’s that aren’t 100%
Bonnet – slight bubbling on nose area, unnoticeable when bonnet shut and covered by bra but I’d rather be honest!
Rubbing around decklid shut area and bonnet shut area where the panels aren’t 100% aligned
Missing chrome trim to one running board
‘Chrome’ trim to headlamps pitting (need replacement to be 100%)
‘Chrome’wheel cover centres not 100% (need replacement to be 100%)
Reason for sale
I am simply too busy to enjoyit and it is time for someone else to have the fun. I can't justify having a car sitting in the garage for sunny days.
To sum it up this is well sorted, well restored car that would make an excellent summer cruiser. I will really miss it but life is short and you can only own/drive so many cars. I have owned it for 5 happy years and enjoyed the wind in the hair, eye catching experience. It is in no way in need or restoration but it would use a few bits of trim, paint touch-ups etc…
Good offers will include all my spares e.g. dashboard, suspension, Kamei front spoiler, tunnel tray, spare wheels, decklid rain cover and anything else I can find in the garage.

As in the title I am interested in swaps for an early bay. Prefer microbus/deluxe or westy LHD obviously is fine. Stock/OG/or modified is fine also.

p.s. I have been advised that this is 'too cheap' - it is priced to sell not waste bandwidth. I would happily take more for it though should anyone feel the need!
