So, I bought myself a 1968 semi-automatic beetle.
Another one ??
Just the same as my original '68 semi, even same colour but just a rolling shell.
This means I don't have to butcher the 33,000 mile car I've had stashed since 1986 and I can also use those cherry bits I've been hoarding just as long.
Of course this also has the most desirable chassis, torsion bar front with discs and IRS rear like the 1302/03 models.
It's sweet, looks a fucker in red-oxide but the chassis looks as good as new and the car is solid too.
It came with a rake of semi-auto specific bits like gearbox, control valve, vacuum and ATF tanks - all these bits will make good spares for the original semi.
Big plans for this monkey.........16V Golf engine, bus 'box etc. A real sleeper if left with rough bodywork (like I do so well).
This is it
