Never been arsed about Beetles either way, but I like that. And am I the only one who finds this

 

it was a 66,with a 68 body wrong engine and 73 wings and interior.

 

 

 

particularly pleasing?

 

Good work, Colin.

He sounds like an absolutely fantastic bloke, the ethos of the beetle is the same as im using to build my capri and ive had so much fun doing it up to yet, so he mustve had a great time doing the beetle

Buy Colin's Beetle.

I have long felt this about cars.

 

They are not just the sum of their components because they do not build, restore, or drive themselves.   People make that happen and they leave their mark and their spirit.

Really, that was the point I made about the Sierra in the aforementioned monologue. Until last year, it was modest yet dependable transport to its owner. It took them to church, it took them on holiday, and to the shops. It was a van, an office, a taxi and it was freedom.

 

Chances are the previous owner has fond memories of the car, but not of it in a magazine or at a show - but of the times it brought their children home, took them to a special place or got a loving bodge to overcome a new idiosyncratic fault.

 

People dying will often teach you to live. That delicious irony is not lost on me.

 

Good luck x

Good work, Colin.

 

No, It's one of the things I find appealing about Beetles, along with the interesting people who often seem to own them.

 

 

I'm going to be a pedant and suggest the floorpan is not a '66, unless later running gear has been fitted. Would be the wide-five wheel bolt pattern if it was...

[hairnet]

Think he was right refurb the tat

 

Sell all the good stuff to make money from scene bummers

 

66 with 70s wings usually the other way round
