1973 show beetle, low mileage and full history. For Sale

For sale is my 1973 1300 Beetle. I personally spent four and a half years rebuilding and modifying this car.

All rot and rust was removed and the floor pan was sealed inside and out. The body work was extensively repaired with something like twenty one individual repair panels. The car was then professionally resprayed in a VW specific colour (Creamweisse)

The engine was rebuilt and upgraded from it's original 1300 single carburettor to a 2110 twin carb setup. Parts include, Scat piston and barrel kit, SSC chromoly crankshaft, forged con rods, CB Performance heads with twin springs and 1. 25:1 ratio rockers and twin Weber 40 IDA's.

The exhaust system is a SSC python stainless system with ceramic coated heat exchangers. The engine still has its original oil cooler but now benefits from an external oil cooler and filter system.

The interior was full restored and modified too with custom door cards and seat covers and a range of one off and unique parts including a rev counter with a custom housing.

I have all of the M. O. T's and all of the paperwork including the original purchase documents.

This is a truly beautiful car and a real head turner ready for summer.
