From the seller: “Rare 1967 beetle woodie from San Francisco, California!
This is a left hand drive Volkswagen beetle, converted with the American woodie kit, most probably the only one in the UK! You can still buy the plans for the woodie online as this will need all the wood re-doing except for possibly the roof as it is still in good condition. The bonnet is fibreglass which came with the kit and in really good condition, replicated a 40/50s ford, could look great as a hot rod.
The front end is solid but the rear floor pan passengers side has fallen through and sills and heater channels are also rotten. The bottoms are rotten but could be salvaged. The wings are printed “MEXICO” and are solid aswell as the inner wheel arches. The engine is running from a can and sounds sweet. Able to drive it in first gear (not tried other gears). It’s the 1500cc which I was told was the more reliable of the engines. Comes with loads of parts seen in photos. Also the rare to find spotlight on the drivers (left) side!”

I was today years old when I discovered that Esso once sold spark plugs. We’ve been working on our 1956 Ford Popular and, after removing the four plugs from its little sidevalve engine, something caught our eye. ESSO. Printed clearly around the white ceramic insulators. We’re used to seeing names such as Champion, Lodge, ...
This Ford Puma auction result made us wonder whether one of the best small Fords of the 1990s is still being overlooked. Although, before we get into that, let’s establish something. This is what a Ford Puma should look like. Sorry, Ford. We’re sure the modern Puma has plenty going for it. There’...
