Via Facebook we came across a challenge. A project where some patience may be exercised in the cosmetic field. And a great opportunity to keep a legend alive. Carel Nout offers a Volkswagen 1300 from 1969. For € 250, - the resident of Leeuwarden enables the potential buyer with two right hands to make something beautiful out of this Beetle.
We sometimes come across similar "restoration objects". These often cost a multiple of the beetle offered by Nout. However, the basic price requested by Carel Nout creates additional space in the restoration budget in advance. The interior - with original steering wheel and red furniture - also seems to look good, and the lichen places the cosmetic state in a tarnished perspective, although the rust ghost naturally took possession of this VW 1300.
Seven years of downtime
The VW stood still for seven years. The owner has put his VW 1300 - with a date of first admission of 15 August 1969 - "driving". Less is known about the technical condition of the Volkswagen. As mentioned, the period of standstill has left its mark. Do you want to cover the tracks? And maybe save this Beetle from the scorching tentacles of ours Verkeerd Afgelopen column? Then click this link and contact the owner quickly. Because we think that this helpless Beetle with license plate 62-46-JH changes hands quickly. So if you respond quickly you may be the one who gives this Beetle - with original Dutch license plate - a second life. Whether the Beetle adds to your collection as an ideal donor car.
