Description
A very original, one-year-only 1967 Java Green Beetle showing 93,854, with just three previous owners and all the cool '67-only features.
The previous owner carried out a good amount of mechanical work, which I've tried to list below:
Rebuilt engine with new barrels, pistons and cylinder heads, flywheel resurfaced and new clutch fitted.
Gearbox mounts replaced, along with new axle boots
Carburettor and fuel pump rebuilt.
New exhaust and heater boxes fitted - heating works really well
New brake calipers and wheel bearings.
Wheels powder coated with new tyres fitted.
Door and window seals replaced.
Dropped spindles fitted with new track rod ends (original spindles included).
Front rubber mats replaced with Newton Commercial items.
Front seatbelts upgraded to inertia belts, rear belts fitted.
The interior is amazingly original and un-messed with - the dash hasn't been cut or drilled, and the headliner and seat covers are all in really nice condition.
The bumpers are showing their age a bit and it's had some paintwork over the years, but overall it presents really well and drives exactly as it should. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in it and drive it anywhere.
Viewing in Bristol is welcome - I'm happy to collect from Bristol Airport or Temple Meads station.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions, and thanks for looking.
