VW Beetle wanted

Hi all, I`m looking to buy a beetle and have about 5k to spend. My ideal car would be a cal resto look ie. sloping head lights, metal dash, brm alloys etc... but i`m open minded so long as the body and engine don`t require work(not much use at fixing things!).I`ve viewed a few over the past months but they were either in…

Hi all,

I`m looking to buy a beetle and have about 5k to spend.
My ideal car would be a cal resto look ie. sloping head lights, metal dash, brm alloys etc... but i`m open minded so long as the body and engine don`t require work(not much use at fixing things!).I`ve viewed a few over the past months but they were either in poor condition or too pricey
I`ve contacted emilios beetles and cosy classics , has anybody got any ideas of were to look or know anyone selling a beetle?

Thanks!

The one on SVF was restored by Emilio about 10 years ago -

Travelling to the uk isn`t really an option,although I have seen some nice vw`s advertised there.
I was due to view the beetle advertised on the svf site but it was sold the day before!
I contacted Emilio, but his beetles all seem to be 7k or more which is too much for me to spend on a weekender or so my missus tells me!
Anyway thanks for your help.

I`ll keep an eye on all the usual motor websites such as autotrader,carzone etc..along with a few specialist ones.
Thanks for all your help.
