Highlights Pretty Speedster in light blue metallic with cream leather Practical 2+2 layout with front and rear seatbelts 1.6L flat four engine with 4spd manual gearbox Only 6,832 miles recorded Five keepers with current one since 2017 Dry stored since November 2023 The Appeal The joy of Pilgrim’s well-regarded Speedster isn't just that it saves you the £500,000 purchase price; it's that it costs less and is considerably more usable. Drive it around, and chances are few, except the most dedicated enthusiasts, will easily spot that it’s a replica. This 2008 Pilgrim, like the originals, features Beetle-based mechanicals including a 1.6L flat-four engine. It is a really pretty example, finished in mid-blue metallic with cream leather 2+2 four-seat cabin. Since it was built, it has covered less than 7,000 miles. The vendor acquired the car in 2017 and says it has been in dry storage since late 2023. Before that, it had brake work in 2022 and a service in July 2021, along with other work. It has covered very few miles since. The vendor recommends some checks and possibly a service before driving. The car will need a fresh MOT before hitting the road. Once that's done, you get a tidy, usable example of one of classic motoring’s best roadsters. The vendor says: “Engine starts and runs correctly. No known faults. The vehicle is a treat to drive and lots of fun. Always gets a lot of attention.” Key Information Mileage: 6,832 miles indicated (supported by MOT history) Country of registration: United Kingdom MOT status: no current MOT (last test expired November 2023 with no advisories) Technical specs: 1,641cc VW four-cylinder petrol, four-speed manual Paperwork: some history available, V5C Registration: private plate 306XUB is excluded from sale The Detail Engine is reported to start and run correctly Smart mid blue metallic paintwork in very good order as shown Some light marks to exterior fittings due to age Light tarnish to chrome domed steel wheels as shown Fitted with Pirelli tyres Steel spare wheel included Two-tone dashboard with painted trim and vinyl top Cream bucket front seats with matching rear bench Seats piped in blue and in good condition due to low mileage 2+2 layout with front and rear seatbelts Fitted with Kenwood stereo and wood-rimmed wheel Car has been in dry storage since November 2023 and MOT has expired Vendor states that car would benefit from recommissioning Four former registered keepers
