[356california]

Sorry all, being very lazy and reposting my eBay ad.

May consider px with vw, porsche, quick hatch??

The California design incorporates the flared wheel arches, no bumpers and more muscle car look.
The original cars would have been driven and raced in a series based in California at weekends.

There are many companies that have been in business for decades who build these cars as new factory builds, so advice, parts, enthusiasts, clubs, communities, meets and shows are all over the UK. Chesil, Pilgrim, Covin, Vintage Speedsters are all trading from the UK. (their new builds are around the £30,000 mark)
The best part about these cars is that they are all based on VW Beetles. Meaning the parts and repairs are incredibly cheap and readily available.

I took this car to Stoneliegh Kit car Show last month (110 mile round trip) comfortable, quick and reliable and easily attracted the most attention out of the 30 speedsters that was there. See pics.


I HAVE THE TOTAL VW MAGAZINE IT WAS FEATURED IN. Please see photos.

This car is stunning and a real head turner. This car was magazine featured in 2001 (Total VW 4 page article).
She is not for the faint hearted because of the sports gearbox and 1600 GT engine.

There is only one thing the more thorough person would want to do to it. There is a very slightly faded patch on the drivers side rear quarter. Its never bothered me, but to rid it of a couple of hairline splinters in the fibre glass and paint I have had a quote of £225 it all right.
I advise anyone interested to come and view the car, because it is even more stunning up close.

Only selling due to needing to move house. Ive found the house and now need to raise the deposit. It is the only way i can afford to do this otherwise this would be a car for me to keep and give my kids!

reduced this by £1000, may look at offers.

£13995 ono

Part Ex, WHY?

I urge anyone wanting to bid to view the car first. I have been very accurate with my description therefore you do bid to buy and drive away within 10 days maximum.
The car is advertised elsewhere asking price is now £13995, there is one other California and they want £19500!!!!
