Hi,
Long story short I have ended up owning this very early oval window beetle. Came from a friends family member who passed away.
Its been partially dismantled with lots on new parts in it. What is believed to be the original engine was in the kitchen partially dismantled. Most of the interior is there from what i can see along with the engine tin work. I have the v5 that matches the chassis number dating it about 1956 but the v5 has first registry date of 1988 so i reckon its an import.
I'm not really into beetles and was looking to sell but have no idea what its worth. Also havnt fully unpacked it yet and lack of knowledge means i wont really be able to tell what parts are missing. Although i do know its missing a front wing and running boards.
So whats it worth and any recommendations on wheres best to sell?
