1974 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine blew because the fan belt snapped. The oil warning light comes on AFTER the engine has already blown so watch out.
Front suspension collapsed.
Rear seat caught fire. Make sure you have some sort of insulation over the top of your battery otherwise the springs on the bottom of the seat can touch the terminals and short.
Needed to have the whole floorpan welded up.
General comments?
Beetles are slow, noisy and uncomfortable, but they can be good fun. If anyone is interested in buying this car, it has a years MOT, stereo, zoom tube exhaust, brand new 1600cc engine with only 6000 miles on it, one piece window kit, new clutch and all welding done. Call me on 0958 797421.
