Nice looking Beetle 298636942_1231407230968692_5212281039399224270_n.jpg
£5k is a bit steep, £500? maybe I'd give it a go. I could have that running again in a day if I still had Dad's shed full of Beetle junk. It didn't take much longer than that to get this one going again after he forgot to re-connect the fuel pipe between carb and pump. Proper need-a-fire-engine fire as well that was. Neighbours were somewhat amazed at it's rapid return to service. Smelled a bit funny inside ever after!

Re: EBay Finds
I reckon that you'd get quite a bit for the seats and the rest of the interior along with things like the wheels.

The words "bulletproof" and "Jaguar" usually sit as well together as "Dianne" "Abbott" "Naked" in a Google search.TDW disclock and killswitch champion.

Re: EBay Finds
That Jag is about as armoured as Waldorf’s Mini was.
Interesting* fact, just after the Waldorf shooting my girlfriend thought that a dodgy looking cross dresser getting on a bus in The Aldwych late one night was David Martin. She told two Coppers we passed in Bow Street, who went running down the road after the bus. There was nothing in the paper about a mass bus shooting , so no harm done.

Re: EBay Finds
I could perhaps see one of these as a potential for a MG BGT replacement.
