Jazzy Jeff Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Definately stick that Beetle on eBay. People actually spend large amounts of time, effort and money trying to get their VW to look like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayd Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 just let a mate know...will reply asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Beetle will make about £300 on eBay I reckon. "Project" ones are not worth huge coin unless they are early models really as the costs of restoring one can be immense, especially as some of the more bum-raping of 'specialists'.LHD saab might make some quids to ex-pats and homeward-bound Poles, but probably not much more than it would make on the frag run, sadly.

mouseflakes Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 PS message to wuvvum in the boot is a complete brand new grille assembly for mk1 R6 How strange is that - in the boot of a modern (to me! ) Saab?Funny enough, I 'lost' one of these in Ireland - do you think it could be the same one? Wuvvum needs a bit of good news on the R6 front at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 That Saab looks great and i quite fancy one of these as a replacement 'towing wagon' for my Audi 200. Sadly I have no current means of shifting it so i'll have to turn a blind eye I think, what a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Could be worth putting the bug on Volkszone.www.volkszone.com/VZiIf it is a 1302S it will have the 1600cc twin port motor, something that should assure a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-reno-139 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 not strange to me saab belonged to my former business partner who is now totally BL fixated (owns VDP 3 litre estate amongst others)many moons ago he had a mk 1 R6 and moving stuff about he threw all old renault bits in boot of saab for me have got a lot of new early 6 bits inc panels thought mr B had let Wuvvum know already ?

garethj Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 The 1302S should also have disc brakes which makes it a good start (or stop ) for a car. Photos of the floorpans, heater channels (sills) and under the back seat is pretty much all you need.If it's unmessed with, it'll sell. If it's got a dodgy interior, botched electrics and a ton of underseal it'll be like most of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 PS message to wuvvum in the boot is a complete brand new grille assembly for mk1 R6 is right! I've had some random finds in the boots of cars in my time, but that takes the biscuit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 A big LHD car will find a healthy market in Nigeria, I have just sold my Acura at a staggeringly high price to a happy, cash rich African fella, bug an MOT on it, shove it on ebay and watch the silly offers roll in!

ayd Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 tried - he's got 4 so doesn't really wanna take on another Saab - sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearthecat Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 That Beetle looks lovely, even with the greenery and rust staining. I was eyeing up a local blue beetle (later model) recently, but I wasn't ready to buy it at the time, and it teased me for months then disappeared. Dont crush this one!
