After a bit of frantic wheeling and dealing this week I have ended up with a Nov 59 Kabrio - RHD - Uk car

As some of you know I am really after a split window beetle .

So if anyone has a project and they would like to do a swap I would be interested .

Paint is 20 yard at best and will need some work to get it restored - some one has fitted an IRS box - lowered beam etc

all glass is there - no rear window surround

If you want any info let me know - If no takers I will just get on with building it .

Cheers Jon

Hi Jon,

Great car, I was watching it on ebay and resisted the temptation to buy it :wink:
Do you know if it's an original UK car and if so, does it still have its original UK reg number?

Cheers
Rich.

A RHD semaphore cabrio is a jewel indeed, and you'll swap with a split.:mellow:

It is on my top 5 list of all cars to own - But I want a split window bug to keep forever along with my samba .

I will have to get into it and see what its like - I dont like cars that others have " restored " I'm more of a drag it out a lake guy - Give me rust over bad welding and cheep repair panels any day .

Anyway its in the workshop and I will gladly swop until I get into it - I have a feeling Im either going to love or hate doing it .

I also have a friend who has lots of split parts so restoration would hopefully be a bit easier - as finding good parts is half the problem . The other half is paying for them !!!!!

I have asked the guy a few questions - not sure how much is re usable - bonnet wings decklid etc are all wrong - interior is scrap ( IMO ) engine etc would need to be changed - therefore seems alot of money for a shell and a vin plate ( thats if it is a 51 )

Sorry if this is your car !!!!
