Hello all - especially VW fans!
After much painful deliberation, I've decided to sell my much-loved UNRESTORED 1966 VW Beetle Deluxe Sunroof, LHD. For those of you who are aware, this is a type 117 (export, left hand drive sedan with sliding sunroof) and a US-market model, which makes it a rare VW in Pakistan.
It's finished in pearl white and has a brown leatherette interior. Here's a brief summary of the car:
- 1300 twin port engine (AB-series), overhauled by previous owner. Runs like a Swiss watch!
- approx. 73,000 miles done (believed genuine)
- Islamabad registered, with all taxes up to date, car comes Rescue-15 verified
- a local Islamabad car, was owned by an elderly couple for many years who took good care of it
- work I've done since I've had it: new front suspension, brake parts and clutch. Recently serviced.
- body in pretty decent shape with no horror stories lurking underneath
- it's a wonderful summer cruiser with the sunroof open, it gets smiles everywhere it goes!
- it is NOT a museum piece, but an unrestored survivor from the '60s. So there are a couple of dings and dents, but in my view that adds to its character, complete with faux white-wall tyres!
I bought it back in April after returning from the UK, as I needed a daily driver. And it has been a daily driver, every single day. I've put on roughly 1,000 trouble-free miles on it during that time, after I completed the initial mechanical work that had to be done.
The ONLY reason I'm selling is that I have netted another rare early VW project, which will require substantial sums spent on it, and I can't keep both.
If you're looking for a car that's cool, retro and reliable for everyday use, look no further.
