Rumour has it,Richard Cotton reckoned you could work the head on that one.

I do know the max VAT for a pre '50 car is 8%.
So get a receipt for $5K John and your laughing.
You could stand it in the garden and watch it change colour:lol:

I was wrong, the blanking panel is original it seems.

Below is the car now and before, does anyone recognise the UK registration. I have a vague recollection of this car going to the States many years ago:?:

This is such a shame to end-up as yet another lowered Beetle :cry:

The wheels and nipple hubcaps have been parted-out :cry: :cry: :cry:

Would really love to get this car back to the UK – the hassle of shipping, risk of damage, theft and so forth, is a pain:x

Are you sure this is the same car?

I recall seeing photos of that lowered split on the Samba where they were making the number plate triangle shaped section of the decklid so that it looked like a KDF car. Happy to stand corrected on this but perhaps it's not a 47 after all???

Defo the same car, seen many pics of the rebuild/conversion.

Note both images below have the lense out of the pope's nose :wink:

How will it cope in deep snow now :?

Wise men fear to tread… and they'll also need around £22,000 plus the parts to make the car correct, and the transport costs too 😳

But it's a damn good car with some rare goodies, even with the ultra rare handed semaphores. I've only seen them before on my '49 :shock:

Correct flat pan with extra ribs under the inside split window :beer:

Near perfect dash (note rare large switches) even the carb has the cog-wheel logo stamped on it. Correct semi-matt paint too.

Potential to be the best '40s Beetle in the UK if someone can get it here :shock:

Too far unless you have a lot of trust in sending out big money and the waiting for the jewell to arrive (in one piece):evil:
