1969 Beautiful & Unique Beetle with all History SOLD

Volkswagen Beetle 1500cc – BAN 164G
Historic Vehicle – Tax exempt with a full MOT to August 2015 (no advisories!) Was featured On Radio Devon's Website after the 2013 Newquay "Run to the Sun" and has also featured in a short film documentary as an "icon".

This wonderful example of a 1969 Beetle started her life in Daragville, New Zealand. She outlived her first owner, Miss Gwyneth Francis. She was then purchased in Dec 1995 from Greens Commercials (Papakura, N. Z.) by Fiona Mary Flynn, who loved ‘Beetle’ enough to transport her all the way back to England with her (4th March 1997). I purchased Beetle from this lady in 1999.
Having owned this wonderful car for the last 15 years it is sadly time to let someone else enjoy & care for her. Her chassis is completely original and solid – you will not find any welding whatsoever. Her original colour was Peru green – you will find the Berger label showing this inside the glove box.
In 2011, although her bodywork was still near perfect, my husband, having been an RAF aircraft paint sprayer for 26 years, decided to give my beloved beetle a complete face lift – she was his last spray job. The pearlescent colour is unique – there is simply no other Beetle like her! The transformation included a new (professionally fitted) black head-lining, new black original style leatherette covers from Switzerland (the original red ones are still underneath) and new carpets. My husband also treated Beetle to new colour coded EMPI 8 alloy wheels – we also have the full set of original steel wheels (with excellent tyres), which have been shot blasted, resprayed and lacquered – ideal for winter driving!
My beautiful beetle comes with a wealth of original paperwork, including the original Certificate of Registration dated 30th May 1969. It is rare to find such a genuine vehicle of this age with so many extras for posterity.
Paperwork as follows:
Certificate of Registration of Motor Vehicle – Original – dated 30th May 1969
Volkswagen Service Record Book – Stamped each year from 30/ 5/ 69 to 17/ 9/ 76
N. Z. Motor Vehicle Testing Station certificates “Warrant of Fitness”(equiv to MOT)
N. Z. Car Tax Receipts
Motor Insurance paperwork for Miss Gwyneth Francis
Vehicle Sale Agreement Showing Fiona Flynn purchasing Beetle on 23/ 12/ 95
Certificate of Registration (N. Z.) showing Fiona Flynn as new owner
Transportation documents covering shipment from N. Z. to England
Licence plate change over documentation
Service/ maintenance bills from previous owner
