We bought this car months ago with the intention of restoring it, but circumstances out of our control are forcing us to get rid of it. We need the space and we cant afford to fix it up so it and TONS of other beetle parts MUST GO BY SUNDAY THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER or else its all just gonna get scrapped.

The car is a tax exempt '72 1200 beetle (V5 present) We bought it in the same condition as you see it in the pics. The guy told us it has a good engine and gearbox in it which he did have running before he started to strip the car. As you can see by the pictures it has a few bits missing so it will need those to get it running again. We havnt had the engine running since weve had it so we dont know anything about its performance.

Rust-wise the car is pretty solid. Floor pans are practically brand new and most of the bodywork seems sound. No issues around the frame head from what i can tell. The passenger side heater channel is rotten through though, and theres a small hole on the drivers side rear quarter, as well as a couple of small holes around the lip of the engine bay and the spare wheel well is rotten through too so that will all need doing.

I also have tons of spare parts and other junk that might prove useful to somebody that can be used on the car or be sold seperately for a profit. Theres 3 decklids, three bonnets (one is for a 1303), a pair of one-piece doors that need welding at the bottoms, two sets of wheels 1 are weller steel rims (need sand-blasting) and the other are 1303s GT rims with tyres.

Theres a set of elephants feet lights and boxes full of other odds and sods for bugs.

Theres also a set of chrome blade bumpers which are in decent condition.

Theres also a heated rear screen and other glass for bugs.

I want to get rid of the whole lot including the car for £300 (ono) by this coming sunday or its going to the scrapyard.
I cant deliver anything, and i cant be bothered selling anything seperate, its just all got to go!
Im in wickford Essex. If you have any questions feel free to ask on here. Just remember time is running out for this little bug and id hate to see it get scrapped but i have no other choice, so please save it!

(no swaps or p/x)
