A 1972 Volkswagen Marathon Beetle. 

1600cc Engine fitted back in 2006, no end play and pulls very nicely.

Each year I drive to Stanford Hall VW show in it, which is a round trip of 400miles and I regularly drive it to work in the summer months which is a round trip of 80miles, with no issues. 

It has been well loved and lots of work has been done to it. In 2006, the previous owner did a body-off restoration where new heater channels and other body panels were fitted. I have photos of that work if needed.

Please do come and have a look at it if you are seriously interested.

I purchased in October 2020. Since then, I have done the following:

• New electronic distributor + coil + leads + spark plugs

• New break shoes + cylinders all round and New master cylinder.

• New manifold boots

• New fuel pipes (flexible) + filter

• New fuel pump and pedestal

• New exhaust system not fitted

• New tyres all round last year 2023

• Wheels shotblasted + powered coated

• New bonnet seal fitted.

• New old stock quarter window fitted drivers side

• New old stock carburettor fitted back in 2022 and fully serviced every year.

• Engine serviced every 1000 miles and valves adjusted.

• New battery in 2023

• New speedometer cable

• LED bulbs fitted in speedo

• some spares to go with it.

• MOT every year even though it's not legally required because of its age.

Work that needs looking at:

• Needs new window rubbers all round.

• Requires a respray as it is looking faded and tatty in places. 

• Rust patches on driver’s side door and passenger door (on the quarter panel)

• Engine bay rain guttering has rusted away - I have new custom made replacements.

• Spots of rust in all the usual places
