I know this isn't the section for cars for sale but I really think this deserves a wider audience. Original Beetle in unrestored condition, just superb and the look that some people spend a lot of time trying to fake. Genius!   Ad here (nowt to do with me) - www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C116863/ |

Very nice, not bad money for an Oval provided it is only 'light' work needed.  |

^^^Thats a hot rod, when it was used as a derogatory term. Or maybe gow job, though iirc that may just apply to model t's.
Proper rat look then - perfect undercarriage and patina'd outer surfaces.

Most of my cars come with "patina" and always have done, cant understand why its become fashionable, it just looks like (like me) you can do all the other jobs except spraying.  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

First beetle looks lovely as is  , I do have a thing for a bit of patina and even a touch of rust but in this climate (UK) is it not asking for trouble. My daily has gone from a little rusty patch to oops, I just put me finger through the wing in the space of a 18 months. Maybe that beetle could be seriously anchor waxed or something, personally I wouldn't want to change it but I would be scared it would dissolve, then again I doubt you would run it year round. |
