I've found another Split for you to check out. This one's in Kent. Not so sure about the seller's so original description, see what you make of it. Unusual colour too: www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C112102/#:o

Well... I don't think the heart tail lights are correct for a Jan '52...

Lots of late 52 bits on that one: 15" wheels, rear lights, W-decklid, bumbers etc. Also was it originally a standard that's been deluxed? No bonnet badge, one horn grill, brown dash pods? Looks like it's had a lot of updated over the years! The numbers listed do all tie up to late January '52 though 8)

Take away all the non-original parts and there's not much left:o

[quote=Standard split]Take away all the non-original parts and there's not much left:o [/quote] It still looks like a nice beetle though. It depends if you would be happy with it how it is and how much they want for it.

Anyone got a price yet? I've asked for one.

Posted by: Pricivius - 09 September 2009 23:29:09
"Around the £10k mark..."

Posted by: VW Stan - 09 September 2009 23:35:36
[quote=Pricivius]"Around the £10k mark..."[/quote] That's quite a lot if you intended to try to make it 100% correct. Plenty of stuff to find and more money to spend. But you could of course just enjoy driving it as it is.

It would be interesting to know if the body was perfect underneath the paint. Is it the original colour?

[quote=VW Stan] It still looks like a nice beetle though. It depends if you would be happy with it how it is and how much they want for it.[/quote] It's a thing with Splits, that if they are presented in nice condition, they always look very attractive regardless of having slightly later parts – and this car is a nice looking car for sure. If it's a Standard underneath with cable brakes I'd almost be tempted.:beer: Nice colour too, makes for a not overly shiny appearance. :wink: £10k is not a lot for this car. The interior though incorrect looks very presentable.

Standard splits didn't have crotch coolers.

Sorry - I have to ask - where am I looking on the pictures to see whether it has crotch coolers?

Thanks, everyone! So... this car appears to have the vents so it is a deluxe "crotchcooler" split with later parts, but also missing some other parts. Now I'm with you, I think!

Asking price is £11k:o [ATTACH]3522[/Attach]

Seems a gift:d Can anyone read this to work out what's the problem with the car:?: This is the only picture of it on the posting – so maybe it has an Oval or Rectangular rear window fitted:? [ATTACH]3634[/Attach]

/\ East German car and it´s had the roof replaced after an accident. He even says it´s in a "gruesome condition".

Posted by: vintagebug - 21 October 2009 18:21:38
Not only the roof- the dash, upright headlamp front wings, football rear lights & wings, late engine lid, no semaphores & probably more that I haven't spotted with my quick glance at it. Shame :(

Could almost be a 70's with a few Split era parts added – probably would have been easier:o
