Nice bug

 

[Mikey]

if where restoring and needed parts you might get it for good
money and stip it. If it'd be any use

Thats a scandless thing to say

Thats a scandless thing to say

ha sorry I know, but its not a bad idea and has been done before.
Great colour too though

 

[trev]

cheap bug. I'll keep an eye on that, if it's still cheap next week I might go for it...

 

[RattyOval]

might i suggest if people from here are genuine bidding for this come to an amacable agreement before driving up the price bidding against each other

 

[trev]

I have quite a low ceiling so if it goes beyond €800-900 (and I would expect it to exceed that easily) I won't even be bidding. If anyone else is prepared to go further then be my guest

 

[Mikey]

I won't be bidding on this, don't need it for anything and don't have room sadly!

 

[Tim]

What would you expect it to go for.

[trev]

I'd be surprised if it didn't reach €1500-€2000. I know the market isn't exactly bouyant at the moment but we'll see what happens in a week's time

It'd be a perfect candidate for a RHD conversion and a pre '80 "chassis transfer" if you know what I mean...

If anyone buys this and wants to do the RHD thing I have a full RHD dash and RHD pedals I could sell

 

[Tim]

Why convert to rhd.

Tim

 

[trev]

cos we drive on the left!! My van is LHD and it's no hassle to drive because it's not really a speed machine: overtaking isn't very frequent. In a bug though you might be more likely to be overtaking so RHD on Irish roads is an advantage.
Still though, it could be driven quite easily as LHD too, depends on how bothered you were...

 

[Tim]

I drove a lh beetle for a few years, and I drive a lh camper now. I find driving a lh easier.I,m going to keep an eye on it too, I imagine it might go a little higher than 2. But its definitely a buyers market at the moment.

Tax, NCT and LHD will keep the price low.

 

[Tim]

The tax is negligable, when you have the benefit of an nct. I would have thought an NCT would have been a bonus.
I hope you are right about the price being kept low.

I'm out...

 

[RattyOval]
