Another bit of trivia for you to chew on.
There is a beetle down here somewhere that I have seen at shows that is a 197? model. It has never been registered and has about 110km on the odo. Those Ks were racked up being pushed from one part of a showroom to another over the years. It is now in private hands, I can't remember much about it except it is martini olive colour.
It is only a beetle after all eh?

its a bummer it wasnt registered as it would need an sva now, im thinking it would probably need a cat and all that rubish now aswell, could be wrong.

Yes its on Ebay - looks like someone trying to turn a quick profit ??

When I first enquired about it, when Luke at Terrys Beetle Services had it, he was asking £14k for it.

It'll be interesting watching the last hour or two of the auction.

I know it's not an early bay, but I thought you might want to see some pics of the van, which I took at the Volksworld show yesterday.

The eBay advert states:

"This vehicle is, of course, left hand drive which just adds to its overall magical feel when you get behind the wheel, instantly becoming obvious why most type 2 purists prefer Lhd vehicles. After all, for VW, right hand drive was an after thought."

What a load of crap - why do LHD vans generally sell for this than RHD in the UK???!

 

[easy]

I am really not a fan of LHD in the UK, especially if youve got a panel, well difficult to sort out on motorways :shock:

Probably my rubbish driving though! :lol:

 

[Danbury Doug]

I had no experience of LHD when I bought my Kombi, but funnily enough I've taken to it very easily. I did find that for the first few trips I kept groping for the petrol stirrer with my left hand! :lol:
I'm quite pleased I've taken to left hooking, 'cos I've got the bait out hoping to catch a nice rustfree deluxe at some stage, so chances are it'll be a Californian jobby.

I agree! That's just ******** seller crap! But anyhow, which entusiast is really going to take such a "car dealer" for real? I mean come on! This hobby is about building nice rides and meeting great people, not to earn as much as possible! It must be as worthless driving a LHD in UK as a RHD over here. It makes you special perhaps, but you'd need a passenger to be shure to make it.

Yeah, just stoopid car salesman bullshite. The kids love the LHDs in the drivethroughs though. They get to order!

It was won today by someone in the USA. Winning bid was nearly £22k. I wonder when it will crop up next.
