Lot Ended
Description
Built up from a VW Beetle in 2014; only 8,600 miles on rebuilt 1,600cc
engine; nice transferable number; advisory-free MOT; ready to
enjoy
First registered back in 1971, believe it or not this was once a VW
Beetle!
In 2014, the owner used the
Beetle chassis, suspension and gearbox as donor parts to produce what you see
today, roughly replicating the shape of the famous Type 35 Bugatti. Paperwork on
file shows us that the fiberglass body was made by Alan Hartswell of Classic
Replica Cars, costing in the region of £1,000. It even has heated
seats...
The V5C on file still states
1,285cc (now 1,600cc) but does recognise it as a Volkswagen CRC (Classic Replica
Car). We are told that the engine was rebuilt when installed with new barrels
and heads, bearings, carb and distributor and it has only covered around 8,600
miles since, as shown by the MOT history. The most recent MOT is valid
until May this year and shows no advisories.
There is a classic
Mini petrol tank fitted behind the false radiator which is filled from
where you imagine a radiator cap would be - which should cause some bemusement
from onlookers at the filling station!
Bound to turn heads wherever
it goes, this looks like a great bit of fun and its worth noting that the number
plate is transferable, according the V5C, and is probably worth a few
bob.
