Description:

Recently refurbished, this beetle is one of the last 300 Beetles to be produced in Germany for the UK market. Confirmation of this can be found on the LEB Register website.
The LEB's were originally fitted with a 1200cc engine however, due to the original engine failing the car has been upgraded with a 1600 cc engine that was installed in March 2014. A new clutch (no judder) was also installed in April 2015.
The car comes with lots of receipts detailing the parts replaced and service history within the last 6 years. Parts replace include drive shaft gaiters and heat exchanger boxes. The most recently fitted parts include: windscreen wiper motor, front screen demister fan upgrade, door cards, radio antenna, cabin interior lighting, engine lid seal, and rear light seals.
The engine oil has also just been replaced with 20w/50 mineral oil. All the floor areas are solid and do not require any welding.

This LEB features a leak free rage top roof and many other custom upgrades, one of which is the original low back front seats have been replaced with sporty full length seats that slide and pivot forward (the original front seats are still available). The car interior is fitted with blue cabin running lights and multi colour mood LED's to enhance the Bug experience! Be sure to check out the YouTube footage.
