I somehow seem to remember this car, need to dig out some old pics

It was Red Before and a very original one, with Stock Interiors. This is a pale shade of the original Powder blue, suits the car well.

Do post some pics of the engine bay.

Thank you everyone for your comments.Will ask my friend for the colour code of the shade used and post the same.My friend did mention that some further detailing is to done in the engine bay, will post the pics after the job is done.
Cheers,

Now this is a superbly done up Beetle. It looks gorgeous in that shade. Please do let us know the colour. The fit and finish really looks flawless. Some work in progress pictures would serve as icing on the cake.

Your Friend must be a lucky guy to get a GOOD car in the first place, from the point he picked it up, the car can only get Better. All the Best to him

I wonder how much it finally sold for. I remember this red car being offered too. But then how can one be sure that the pastel blue and the red are one and the same?
Also the red was quite complete in all respects if i remember correctly. Wonder what mechanical spares are needed?
