I'm off to see a '62 Bug tomorrow.
Garaged and dusty and dry....
Last tax disc 1980... under 50000 miles so I'm told.
Will it be a Gem?
I'll let you know 😃

Some more info....

One owner from new. Purchased in Belgium and theb brought back here. its got original Purchase receipt. All docs and paperwork and handbooks - in perfect condition.

The under side is covered in surface rust - but i couldnt see any holes - although, its hard to see it all as its on flat tyres and the garage is a bit full..

It broke down and was limped into the garage in 1980...

Great find Julian! Well done!

It is definitely not an original '62 colour though! It would have been Anthracite, black or Pearl White with that interior.

I went and collected it today.

On removing it from the dark garage it became obvious that it was originally white.

The lady who was selling on behalf of her late husband had no Idea it had been painted when i asked her the other day... but it appears it was done before they met.

Also in the paperwork it says it was white from new. .. oh and the receipt for about £50 in 1972 for the full inside and out respray tells the story too...

It appears to have its original purchase receipt, all UK MOTs, all UK Tax Discs, Original Disc from belgium. All the hand books and more...

I've got a long night ahead looking through that lot.

The car is surprisingly solid - But battered.

The brakes even work as do the lights and wipers...

I've poured diesel in the bores to see if it will unseize, but dont hold out much hope.

Turns out the milage is actually 70,000 kms... so about 43500 miles!

So how come the car is RHD if it's originally from Belgium?

It was ordered in RHD form for import to the UK.

He was living out there and working for BP at the time.

Strangely no one thought to order a MPH speedo!
