Hi,

a few weeks ago I found my „new“ beetle, only 15km away from my house. It had been sitting dry in a barn for 30 years, has only very little rust on the pans. I will separate the body and have the chassis sandblasted and re-paint. The engine, gearbox and steering need new seals… The front seats need two seams to be repaired, the rest is fine and will be conserved as it is.

I hope to take it for the first ride next summer! 😊

Very nice car. 8)

PS: it appears to be a 1960 model, not a 1959. :wink:

You‘re correct, it has been built on August 11th 1959, so it’s a 60 model.
