Koen is an assigned Beetle lover who has spent all his hard earned money to nothing more or less than acquiring, restoration and driving his Beetles. This 1969 model Beetle came in @ the BBT workshop in 2003 for some minor finishing welding jobs. Once we started to inspect the works that were done, we discovered something went wrong while someone previously made the job as a friends service to Koen. The whole body was thorn and when we placed the body on a chassis, the gap between body and chassis was about 50 mm. Hard to seal with the original style body seal… The rear apron and rear boot floor were fit in to tight and made the engine bay about 60 mm smaller… We even didn’t tried to fit in an engine.
The whole welding job has been done all over again. Koen’s love for this Beetle was so big, he didn’t even think about the fact to leave the project and track another Beetle. The previously done welding job has been done all over again with even bigger NOS panels to prevent to end up with a patchwork body. Lots of NOS panels have been used while doing the job, in that time it wasn’t that hard to obtain the correct NOS panels @ reasonable prices to do the job.
After 2 years we could hand over a whole new 1969 Beetle to Koen and he pampered his Bug since than until last Weekend… A roll-over made an end to this beautiful story and Koen is now on a quest for another body.

Patina Extreme!
Straight from the Swedish barns, pretty high North, 650 kms up North from Stockholm, Swedish capital to be exactly..
This kind a cool patina oval window is a top of the bill!
Nice and straight, and especially looking “old” the right way! Don’t polish, don’t clean, its work of mother nature, fix the mechanics, detail and drive it, this car can bring joy to many! Need some attention underneath, nothing bad, but we have to mention….
The roof rack is coming along as a gift, it sat so long on the car, so for us its part of its heritage…
The oval window is the most pure automobile lines ever created, the forms just fit all bills!
Inside its still very original, being a pre 55 model You still have all early parts inside, ribbed doors, and early style seats. The driver seat however, was changed long long time ago, more then likely for more drivers comfort, but we do have another all correct interior in very good shape we can sell along, not only You will have all correct seats, You will have spares to in case something happen and You should need original all correct material…
Look at this all pristine headliner… almost sixty years old, you shouldn’t tell, do you?
Correct Batwing steering wheel with a totally unmolested dashboard, get a peek view from the period accessory Okrasa accelerator pedal, the beautiful all original carpeting and the accessory storage basket over the middle tunnel….
Believe me they don’t come any better….
Front trunk with original trunk liner, how many cars still around with their original trunk liner close to 60 years old?
Engine is a correct 30DinHp (that’s 36SAE) but not matching numbers… check also on original firewall insulation….
Original heart taillights still in place! Never replaced or upgraded to later styles, a specialty on its own!
Rear valence uncut all original, this car had a single tip exhaust for its whole life!
Untouched, driven, and stored, that’s it… They do not come any more original as this, the ultimate “Oldtimer”. Also Swedish barns dry out big time, we can’t come up that often anymore with the cool stuff. But with this car our BBT hunters went far and above, so original is a real gem to find in 2014!
