    Free to a good home

    Genuine offer to any of you guys who wants a project or a pretty much complete Beat for spares. Previously known as Zippy, my Beat was bought on this site in 2004, and was great fun for a year or so before I moved away with work. It was garaged and pretty much left under a canvas since then. At some point a couple of young guys who were keen had a go at starting it etc. I have to say it's looking a bit sad now. I could stick it on eBay and see what happens, but I reckon anyone who is really interested in Beats will look in on this site, and I'd be much happier giving it away to someone who is a fan of these great little cars. I'm in Aberdeen, so it would have to be picked up, and it ain't going to be driven away I'm afraid. I'll try to post some pics, if anyone has any questions please get in touch.

    Cheers,

    MartyB

    Hi Marty
    I am very interested in Zippy and I will be in Aberdeen for a family wedding in April so if the offer still stands we could discuss collection next month. These are pretty rare in Aberdeen and I recall an article I the P& J many moons ago featuring a red Beat, it wasn't Zippy was it ?

    Hi Colin,

    That's great news thanks for the reply. No it wasn't zippy in the P&J I'm afraid. The car hasn't been driven since about 2006. It's on a Sorn though so should be no issues with road tax. It's very shabby now and I guess it would take a lot of work and dedication to get it up and running again. On the other hand I guess it's good for spares. The hard top may be worth something. It's a Feels, the back window is missing, I have the rubber seals and I did find a company that thought they could replace it. So yes. If you can pick it up then the offer stands. And I hope you can do something with it. If you want any more info just ask.

    Cheers.

    Marty

    Thanks Marty I must admit the hardtop is a very attractive feature :-)
    I will send you a private message with my contact details so we can discuss collection, Getting quite excited about another Beat joining the family.
