Whatever Your video says there are about 20 Bugs in the USA - is that correct? Where are they all?

I though the number in USA was more like 6, although I guess more could have been imported by collectors.

cdb15: @bugeater: how about this one? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184550691098?ul_noapp=true Nov 25, 2020 11:32:59 GMT

adl2: cdb15, that's just such a shame that someone let it get into that state. I know that's more than I could cope with but I admit I am slightly tempted. For the VIN, it would end up as a Trigger's broom of a restoration. Nov 25, 2020 22:26:43 GMT

burlmeister: Trouble fitting new 6052 fan belt. Alternator adjusted to the max. Belt is on the engine and alt pulleys but I just cannot get it to stretch over the lip of the fan pulley. Is there a trick to this? Driving me nuts! Nov 26, 2020 11:09:57 GMT

adl2: That barn find Bug as linked by cdb15 is now bid to over a grand. Or should I say, that V5 doc for a Bug is up to over a grand. Nov 29, 2020 10:14:12 GMT

Stiffy: Hi Folks.. a lot of questions go unanswered if you put them in the shout box. Its more visible to all if you create a thread. Most questions get answered within hours. :-) Nov 30, 2020 16:52:59 GMT

adl2: Gone for £1220 in the end. Dec 1, 2020 13:36:48 GMT

Looking for bug to buy: Hi all, had to sell my bug 3 yrs ago, went to the states and had nowhere to store it unfortunately but I'm back and would like one would consider any condition, a project is fine. Any help or suggestions would be great thanks warren Dec 14, 2020 18:40:23 GMT

bugberk: Just put the engine/box into my rolling chassis, and the prop shaft seems to be about 3" short, Have I been given the wrong one? this a total rebuild from a pile of bits. Dec 16, 2020 13:34:31 GMT

goodtimes: thank you for the drawings! very helpful. Dec 17, 2020 17:31:00 GMT

vannin: bugberk what is the length of your propshaft you are fitting ? you'll get more replies if you ask on the main forum Dec 30, 2020 15:30:34 GMT

rooster: can any one tell me what car the canopy lock came of ? ive been told a triumph Jan 18, 2021 15:23:26 GMT

rogeru7: Hi the basic lock is off a Triumph but it will then need a major mod to be used on the Bug canopy unless you have access to a lathe and a mill it’s not an easy mod Jan 18, 2021 20:15:56 GMT

Steve: Hi can anyone tell what is the tallest you can be to drive a bond Bug Feb 25, 2021 13:37:55 GMT

vannin: hi Steve, is this for you and if so how tall are you ? more interest and responses if you use the main forum ! Feb 25, 2021 14:51:06 GMT

steve: i'm 6ft 4in am i too big to fit? . im not good with computers, cant seem to get on other thread, sorry Feb 26, 2021 10:59:28 GMT

mike: I have 2 bond bugs 1 almost restored just waiting on new upholstery and the other is complete runs sweet and original if Warren is still looking for one Cheers Apr 11, 2021 12:35:02 GMT

Jon T: Hi all, I am looking to purchase a bug, dont mind if needs some work, anyone point me in right direction. thanks< Apr 20, 2021 10:52:19 GMT

mysticmick: hi all . i recently purchased a bug . my dream car for restoration . i have the vin plate . with chassis number and engine number . but sadly no reg number . is there any way of finding out the original reg so i could apply for the v5 .. thanks in advance May 8, 2021 16:20:42 GMT

cdb15: To Mystic Mick: contact HPI and ask if they will do a VIN-only check. Usually if you have the registration it's £19 or so, but may be different from the VIN. Or there is a DVLA procedure using form V62 - check out the government web site for the procedure. May 17, 2021 20:15:30 GMT
