For sale:* Low Mileage 55996* Volkswagen 1303 Karmann Convertable Beetle - with aithenticity certificate.
I'm reluctantly selling, from my late fathers car collection a 1978 Beetle for restoration.
Garaged and almost forgotten about for 15+ years, it came to light when the council wanted their garage back!
In my ownership now for the past 8 years- I had hoped to restore it but reluctantly have to sell due to personal circumstances.
So my Bug needs a new home in the New Year!
A great project for someone with hands on experience and wishing to carry out a restoration project, put their own stamp on a Bug.
