Guys,

Am looking for a semi auto beetle chassis.

Needs to have a V5. Pref tax exempt and shortened but not essential.

Thanks

Wouldn't it be easier to do an irs conversion on yours Ben? Flatlands charge £325 so you'd probably be able to get it done locally for pretty sensible money.

You could just do a horn swap like I did on the jas, no jig required apart from the cradle bolt holes. Finding an irs rear section is easier than a semi auto beetle pan.

Just be aware that some (not all though) semi-auto chassis aren't fitted with clutch cable conduits. VW saving a couple of deutchmarks I guess. :-\
