Question What would be a genuine price to buy a split bug ? Not one that is mint a runner a bit tatty even on the wrong pan engine etc with some of the tasty bits missing. seen some up for sale but I think the prices are dream land to be honest. An interesting one in Spain at the moment ( if its still up for sale ) Serious question so keep any stupid remarks to your selves [-x

Andy that's a very hard question for anyone to answer without seeing the car.
But a tatty,bits missing on the wrong pan Split,in my opinion would be worth,well south of 10K.And that's if it was road worthy.(wrong pan,knocks K££££'s off).I wouldn't want it with a non-OG pan,myself.
If it's off the road,bits missing and requires welding and metal work.Bearing in mind the expense to get it back to par,you need to be buying for as little as you can possibly get away with.

If this is the car in Spain,i wouldn't say it was worth the asking price.

If you want a low budget Split and don't mind a zwitter,this is an OK deal.

I personally would say hold out for a complete one, they do still appear for reasonable money (£15k). If you price up all of the small bits and pieces it is quite scary, so choose carefully would be my advice!
Still looking for some OG rear wings, correct wipers and a K-manifold for mine, fairly minor items but serious ££ to me:shock:
It took me about 3 years to find the 'one', you have just got to keep looking.:smile:

Don't think there is any-thing dodgy,going on there Andy.
Just the asking price:rofl:
Basically you'd be buying a Split body shell for over £20K,tooooo expensive.If you're a "Stock" man,as you are.The rest is of no use to you,other than re-sale.
I posted this based on my link.
Just seen your pics,what;s the asking price on this one then??

The add I saw was for 12K
Posted by: GKL 7 - 20 October 2013 18:49:52
£'S or Euros.Not that there's much differnce.
Posted by: AW - 20 October 2013 18:57:09
Its in £s
Posted by: GKL 7 - 20 October 2013 19:00:49
If it's on the wrong pan,with the incorrect parts.I'd say,too expensive.
You see cars coming out of Sweden,yes still,far more og for very little more.

Thanks for the heads up :thumbup: To be honest I don't want to go for one that's abroad I want one in the U/K so I can go and have a look at it for my self.

The zwitter mentioned here is a good deal, but if you really want a 'proper' split with the attractive KdF style dash, then you have to expect to pay 'proper' money.
OG paint splits can command their own values, and it is a shame that this one has fallen foul to the lowering and awful wheels mob, especially as it has the roll-back sun roof and crotch coolers. I'd value this at about £16k with the hope of reversing the mods made.

The big crease in the roof puts me off more than the wheels, I quite like the wheels 8)

I think your best bet is to buy from Germany, trying to find a reasonably priced split in the UK is pretty unlikely. Obviously the more original the car is the more its going to cost anywhere, but a split on the wrong pan with a few updates in Germany is going to be a better buy. Plus it's probably going to be easier to get the car home from Germany than somewhere like Sweden.

Original paint is all nowadays, worts 'n all, and that includes dents, though that is a bad one.
The wheels are the more tasteful than many replacements I'd agree, Rob.
Thanks for all the input chaps. To be honest would like it with a later pan so don't have the lever arm dampers the crash box etc etc. Rattle trap the link to the Samba dosent work so can not see the car :(. Rob looks like I will have to go to some vintage meets in Germany :d Do they have a for sale section at the over seas shows or is all the dealing done word of mouth ???

There's usually a swap meet at Camberg & HO, but not a cars for sale area. Swap meet prices are high because of the high number of tourists to those big events, best to just watch a few German sites.

I looked at that ad yesterday Andy. It's sold. Tenerife is a bit far to go to buy a split. Suppose you could con the missus into thinking it was a holiday in the sun!! :wink:

That one's on a '66 chassis, Andy. Fixed price of 8,500 euros (about £7,200). It says that the body is in good condition, but not quite complete.

This is a '51 crotch cooler on a '69 chassis. It comes with both doors & a rust-free W decklid. the bonnet & glass are also available. 4,500 euros (£3,800) or make an offer.

Well Andy, it's worked for me so far- Bad Camberg, Hessisch (twice!), Oberwolfach and Hueckeswagen. I don't think she's cottoned on yet...... or maybe it's because she can speak German and I know she likes to go there :d
She probably tells her friends that she fancies another trip to Germany & she just has to say the words "vintage VW show" to me and she knows I'll say yes! :d

Thinking about it, Hueckeswagen in 2008 is where I first met ET (Heb623). I knew there was a reason I shouldn't have gone! :lol:
Sorry for wandering off topic Rob!
