Any habile optician can edge a mirror with a diamond wheel. You just have to bring him a mirror with the right thickness. I can do it _________________ Il est grand le mystère de la DR |

And the 55 Before i tore it apart but then me and my wife got Twins so no time for "him" but no hurry.
All 3 have original paint and low milage
And my beach buggy i restored many years ago, someting like 15 yers ago.

As far i can see your "new" split is a late split? August or September?
Can you post a picture front inside front hood?

I would say pre May52, glove box linings disappeared 15th of May. |
Maybe i saw the engine picture and was curious because the fan shroud doesnt seem to be the seamed fan shroud, but i have to say aswell the picture is far and is not possible to see it very well. |

It was original. Unfortunately, when I sold it the guy I sold it to restored it. It now belongs to Jerry Seinfeld. _________________ Kevin "Wiggy"

And I have fixed 4 fuelpumps from a 50,51,52,53 and I'm going to fit them with modern membrane.
The old ones don't like all the ethanol in the "new" petrol. |

The condition is pretty amazing, do you think older restoration or original? Either way, great find and nice looking bug. |
