Well picking him up was something of a saga, and I doubt we'll ever go back to Indespension for trailer hire, but we finally picked up Bee-Bee yesterday.
The guy selling managed to start him up and wow. He runs as sweet as a nut, ignoring the blowing exhaust. He rolled as well (and stopped!) - pretty amazing for a Bug that's been sat for 12 years.
Chassis is absolutely solid. The rear wings, valance and bumper are all rusted to heck, as is the exhaust, but the engine itself is pretty good. Just needs a good clean and tune up really. The bonnet is also goosed and some work is needed to the gutters, but it's nothing that I can't handle.
I'm chuffed as a very chuffed thing. Pics later
