Hey all, thought id give a shout as I contributed to the thread on vzi.

Been a few years since I had to sell the 1949 standard.

Have restored a 1970 1300, and currently have a 1967 lotus white 1500 and 1300 red 69 beetles. Looking to sell these 2 this summer and get back into split ownership.

Maybe this time tho, start out with something a bit more complete:lol:

Been offered a 356 at a very reasonable price, so may get that instead, as split prices are silly. I see you guys are into you 356's at the mo.

Hi George.

Yes Im slowly coming back. As said I need to sell my 1967 and 1969 bugs.

Ive just been offered a very sad looking 1956/7, its one of the first big windows, but does have an original rag top. Not sure if to go for it.

Im still hankering after a type87 replica.8)

At around £10,000 this is a very good buy. If I had the space I'd be over to Belgium:!:

I would have to keep it outside which would ruin the great look it has.

I'd get it in running order but would not paint it – it looks great 😎
