1957 sunroof oval window beetle For Sale

Final Price Drop!!

Please note, the pictures of the car shows it without hubcaps fitted. This was in order to preserve them, and they will be supplied with the car on completion of the sale.
For sale is my 1957 oval window sunroof beetle. This is a matching numbers car with an original golde sunroof, not a graft.
the car was manufactured in february 1957, and exported to sweden the following month, where it remained until approximately 2011. i purchased the car in 2012, and carried out a full nut and bolt restoration, using the best quality parts available.
the car was stripped to a bare rolling shell, body split from the pan and both were blasted. The panels used were supplied by:
klassic fab - heater channels and front wings
autocraft - front and rear valances
wolfsburg west - floorpans
wolfparts - spare tyre well and rear crossmembers
hooky’s panels supplied lower rear quarters, rear bumper hangers, windscreen corners, correctly modified rear body mounts, and fully repaired a pair of genuine rear wings.
virtanen running boards with kafer rostfrei “fade out” rubbers are fitted.
after the repair work was finished the bare shell was etch primed, primed and painted in l324 polar silver two pack. The chassis was etch primed and painted in two pack black. Everything on the chassis, hard and soft brake lines, cylinders, shoes, springs, shockers, is all new. The brake drums were skimmed, and the backing plates were powder coated prior to assembly.
every rubber seal and bung is new. The complete wiring loom has been replaced, the original switches have all been cleaned and restored to the car. The exterior trim is stainless steel, as are the bumpers and overriders. The hubcaps are genuine vw, with the centre emblem painted. The headlights, rear lights, and semaphores have all been rebuilt.
the engine was stripped, requiring only a top end overhaul with new valve guides. All of the tinware is powder coated, a new 180mm clutch kit, and a genuine vw round exhaust is fitted.
the entire interior has been replaced with everything supplied by wolfsburg west to ensure a top quality job in the correct grey / blue flecked cloth with tan square weave carpets, a new cloth headliner, and canvas sunroof cover.
the steering wheel has been restored too.
the car comes with swedish style rear gravel guards, genuine vw mudflaps, original swedish market rear reflectors, and new firestone whitewall tyres. The original swedish supplying dealer badges are refitted on the front quarter panels. It also has an swf windscreen washer glass bottle, and pump mechanism fitted.
i have a comprehensive file of paperwork including the original bill of sale, swedish mot’s, tax discs, and the original owners handbook in swedish, as well as the birth certificate from vw.
the car is registered for use on uk roads, and is ready to show. If the new owner wishes, some spare parts can be included.

£26, 500

I can supply detailed pictures taken during the restoration. I am motivated to sell this car, however I am not interested in low-ball offers for it.
