MR SMITH'S BEETLE 1964 - £10,000
Picture
1964 Beetle 1200
​in Java Green.


Thousands of pounds have been spent during the last year by the current owner, with all work being conducted by ourselves, at Westcoast.
Prior to his ownership, the previous owner had maintained the car well, including having a replacement engine fitted (June 2016). Since then, the car has covered less than 2,500 miles.
In June of last year the engine and gearbox were removed so that the gearbox could undergo a complete rebuild by BEARS Motorsport, in Solihull.

Whilst the engine was out, the engine bay was resprayed and the ‘tinware’ powder coated  The piston rings were changed, as well as the push rod tubes. The inlet manifold was also changed. All gaskets and seals were renewed, as was the clutch (and wing nut). A new starter motor was also fitted, at this time.

   "since this work was completed the car has covered less than 1,500 miles."

Whilst the gearbox was away, other work was carried out including; repairs to the bottom of both doors and full repaint; the door cards were replaced and the original trim refitted; when reassembling the doors, the window lifter channels and scrapers and one quarter light catch were renewed; all window seals were replaced; the indicator switch was replaced with a new ‘model appropriate’ part; a radio blanking panel was painted and fitted (with chrome strip); the wheels were repainted in-house.
