Picked this beauty up a couple of months ago,been after one for a while & my mate told me about this one. Been sitting in a barn for over 20yrs,only 2 owners,gen 58k miles from new,needs some work but in really good condition.Gonna use it as my daily as the wife uses the gti. I've started to tidy it up & go through it,hopefully have it on the road by the new year.Gonna keep it stock height & totally original as its quite a rare one being a UK rhd .

Its a 1965 single cab,original 1500 engine,running gear etc,looks really high compared to my camper but I'm resisting the temptation to slam it lol

looks like a good one to restore.

All ways wanted one soo sick :)

amazing!! how much did u pay for it

Well the fella i bought it off found it 3 yrs ago & paid £300 for it !!!!!!! I've already been offered twice what i paid for it but I'm not selling its a keeper! I paid a lot more than that for it,lets just say i looked at LHd ones that were rough going for between 6.5k-11k & i got it for quite a bit less than any of them. Well happy & so was he.

Nice ride!

Where you going to sit lmao

He took the seats out..

woooooooooooow keep a hold of that baby fella very rare rhd value more like 10/14k till it gets a ticket on it then start thinking 15/20 with the ticket

Finished the small amount of welding it needed today,just got the brakes to go through,paint the underneath,waxoil it then m.o.t time. Cant wait to drive him about.

Nice, interesting colour too!

Gonna leave it as is, I've just blown in the green where the new panels have been put in otherwise its staying original.
