For sale… 1967 RHD VW Beetle

'Custom Build with 2.3 Litre Engine'

A unique crossover ball joint model, imported from California in 2021 and built with passion, featuring a highly specified 2.3-litre engine and extensive custom upgrades.

This Beetle was the pride and joy of a lifelong VW enthusiast who invested countless hours and resources into creating something very special. The engine alone is a hand-built 2.3-litre unit with Gene Berg carbs, costing in the region of £18,000, and was recently fitted by Herbie Hospital in North Yorkshire.

The car benefits from extensive restoration and customisation, including:

  • 2.3-litre custom engine with Gene Berg carbs-Removable deck lid
  • Adjustable beam lowered front suspension
  • Custom exhaust system
  • Radar wheels
  • Lightened flywheel
  • Chevrolet big end bearings
  • PerTronix Flamethrower electronic ignition
  • Kennedy Stage 2 clutch plate
  • Gene Berg cooling fan

Further recent works include a full rewire (2022), new internal panels, seat covers and carpets, plus stainless steel bumpers and headlight grills. The car also features a custom gear shift.

While the car is running, the carbs would benefit from setup and the paintwork is not concours, but this is a very special Beetle both mechanically and aesthetically. It represents an opportunity for someone who wants a standout, air-cooled Volkswagen with serious performance and character.

Price £15,000

Lots of invoices and paperwork included.
