SORRY SOLD Originally a Karmann Clipper Cabriolet, has been converted to Fuel Injection, with a rebuilt Scirroco engine. The engine has covered less than 10k miles since rebuild. Tornado red, still very shiny, not faded like the majority, the car has benefited from extensive work… The car was originally bought as a wedding present, and has seen sunny day use only since. It is only being sold as for our tenth wedding anniversary it is being replaced with a Porsche convertible. As such, no expense has been spared!

Overall the car isn’t "in your face", but none the less, still turns heads as a very very nice car. Performance wise it is very understated (admittedly the exhaust note gives something away!). Superunleaded fuel makes a big difference. We believe it is probably around 120 bhp, but very torquey. There are a couple of negative points; there are a couple of dings and a scratch. The car has previously had some light accident damage on the front, we have replaced both front wings and bonnet – we have the original bonnet available (only replaced as it was cheap, and sprayed at the same time… the original is of better quality, and it would be better to have it sprayed to match). You really need to see the car to see how minor these dings and scratches are. The car is due a service, and belt change (due to passing of time rather than mileage!) This may have been done by the time you read this; otherwise we will negotiate or change it before you collect the car. Past experience suggests a chin spoiler would enhance the handling of this car – whilst nothing wrong with it at the moment, we believe that it really would be worthwhile – we haven’t done so as it would catch on the entrance of its home in the carport. The amplifier needs a higher power supply – the cable has been run, final fusing and connections need to be made. The jobs that are outstanding are all things that we were doing – there has never been any urgency with this car, so nothing has been rushed or bodged. All nuts and bolts have been copperslipped where appropriate to make maintenance in the future a joy; indeed, this car is an absolute pleasure to work on, for that I shall miss it! Unfortunately, its replacement has arrived, and is taking up our time, leaving the above jobs incomplete. The car has no corrosion as far as we are aware, and has always sailed through the MOT in this respect. It is usually garaged, otherwise under a carport. It is probably polished with Zymol every 2-3 weeks, a much-loved car. We have always run the car on the original 9 spoke wheels, the tyres on these are low, however, the car comes currently fitted with a set of Pirelli wheels and matching tyres in very good condition, with plenty of tread. The car currently has an odometer reading of 133k, but this does not really reflect the car’s condition. |
