This 72 flatscreen Beetle has been built/restored for use. The interior is very comfy original front seats and the safety issue has been sorted with the addition of front belts.The car stands very well it is not slammed and unusable the after market "BBM" alloys set the car off
The car very useable and fun rather than a faltering over sized power plant it has a 1641 engine ,which is running very well It starts 1st time every time . The brakes are all sorted as is the steering/suspension etc etc. If you are looking for some summer fun and ultra reliability that is so cheap to run then you wouldn't go far wrong with this nice 72 flatscreen with an early 60s look.

Engine & Transmission
There is a rebuilt 1641 engine with new Weber twin choke carb along with ancilleries ie clutch ,fuel pump etc etc .This was installed and has covered very minimal miles due to my ongoing personal illness.
Needless to say it runs well and has made this beetle reliable. The next ownwer should not have any mechanical issues .
Thousands of pounds has been spent on the car over the recent years as shown from the body off rebuild photo.

Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
The "BBM" alloy wheels are 15 inch and are in very good condition .They are shod with as new low profile radials front and a standard size rear.
The car is excellent just passing its MOT this week with no issues anywhere.

Exterior
The L572 Panama paintwork is in very good condition it has a minor marks to some panels as the car was painted approximately 3-4 years ago. The car is very straight with very good gaps etc. The car has a a very good stance (not too low) and the engine cover has had the release removed. The boot area is clean and is carpeted .The engine bay is also clean.

Interior & Equipment
The interior is original, with new over mats. The Car has a radio shack stereo power speaker mounted to the dash panel so hidden behind the dash along with a hidden iPhone, USB or card reader Radios shack hidden unit for your music. The period radio is not connected as I did not want an aerial.
The headlining is new, it also has a roof storage net.
