hello on my travels yesterday came across this
it's a late 50 something cant remember now, seems solid apart from abit of rot on roof and front inner wing, dont have any idea if it has glass, seats etc..
it had been garaged for a few years but its been sat out for last yr
still in original paint which looked like Beige-Green, Sand Green
only thing i want is the rusty ski rack on the back :lol:

Nice find!

It looks relatively solid. What did the heater channels, pan halves, inner wings look like? And is it a UK car? I would think it is by the number plate (which is nice) and the general look of the thing.

Would appreciate it if you can find out if RAF 21G is for sale? And if so, how much?

Is there anything else pre67 sat there besides this Bug?

Looks like it's a 1960 by the door handles and the fan shroud

yep most stuff for sale and theres lots more old vws sat there
and theres boxes of old german stuff everywhere

Can you pm me the number/ contact details? I know it's a long shot but do you know if they would have a nearside rear wing for a '56? Been looking for a while now & nobody seems to have one for sale! :(

Thanks!

Agreed!! I thought they all disappeared in the 1980s!! :lol: What a find! I wonder how many of these graveyards are still tucked away, waiting to be "discovered"?...

Are those door handles not also correct for 59 model year car? Was it not changed for that year model, its one of the few ways of telling the difference between 58 and 59!:wink:

The ignition wires were fixed to the fan shroud in pairs by 3 rubber holders from 4th May 1959

so im guessing its a 59 as the guy did say 50 something
and im sure they have some pre67 parts, would hate to think how many cars been broken over the years
will call them in the morning and ask if its ok with them to put the name of their shop up so will be easyer for you all
as they dont have a website etc.. would of thought so after 33 years of working on vws :lol:
