If I wasn't such a golfer, I would be onto this.

Yes - confirm that is still for sale. Would drive to Melb if you wanted a good look and you're genuine (I need to do something in the big smoke sometime soon so could justify the trip). And I love the drive in the Passat what's more - pity no twisting roads tho.

Let me know if genuine interest.

Terry has been back in touch with me and would like to offer the car for sale again.

I really am now trying again to sell the Passat to someone who wants one and is able to look after it and keep it going - I don't want to junk it !!!

The car looks much the same as it did in the photos above - it has been garaged since then and only on the road for occasional club runs and 'second car' use when needed. Compressions are 180/180/180/ 120.

The car is not 'original' as it has a replaced dash (in good condition)/ small steering wheel/covers on rear seats - because of non-matching upholstery, Interior roof lining is 'mottled' (don't know why). Bodywork is still clean though.

I have a RWC 'First Examination' report and there are still some outstanding things after I fixed new tyres/lights - The main problem ones for me - if I was to try for a RWC - being steering rack boots/ windscreen. But no big deal for an enthusiast with restoration know how to deal with some oil leaks/wipers/pass door not opening from outside. I can share this 'First Examination' report with anyone who may be interested as things progress.

The spotlights fitted to the bumper-bar are a pair of Marchal 'Fantastic' ca. mid 1960s (type 660/760). I have seen postings on the web for the genuine item (not the reproduction ones) varying from $400 to one US Bonham's auction listing of $US $600 - $800 a pair.

So, I would like to sell it without RWC and would like to get $1500 for it. Of course, being road-registered it could be driven from Bendigo to the place of a new owner before de-registering it, as it runs really well. Of course it is available for inspection here in Bendigo to verify the online pics and old posted descriptions by you/Jodie? (I would even drive it to Melbourne for example, it I had a definite commitment/ie deposit but I wouldn't want to do that unless I was fairly sure that I had a definite buyer.

Terry's keen to see this go an enthusiast that will keep it on the road and look after it for years to come.

Forgot to mention in my contact with Peter that the genuine factory manuals (2 volumes) are still around and are part of the deal. The inside 'cooling' fan is no longer there and there are different (better matching) back-seat covers. The pics are otherwise pretty much spot on.

that is a lovely early Passat. is there any movement from 1500?

Not much. What sort of movement are you looking for?
$1400 with me taking the classic 660/760 Marchal spots off- but then there would be two small holes in the top of the bumper that would need to be covered/plugged over in some way if you are really fussy about smooth chrome bumpers.
Spots are off now so that is the present price.
