Price seems high but car looks nice.

A bit pricey and I think 30 MPH city is a little slow dont you?

I really hate it when sellers don’t give a hoot how their ad appears.
Typos like 30mph highway, 25mph city, misinformation like a 1650cc VW engine (intentional or otherwise). Ridiculous.

And a friend once told me, make the pictures as large as you can. Unless you are trying to hide something. Then post small images.

And keep your handsome mug out of the pictures. If you don’t care enough to shoot new photos of your car, and JUST your car, don’t be surprised when I don’t care enough to give your ad serious consideration.

I’m done now.

Looks like a very early Daytona MiGi to me. Notice the rounded top of the engine cover and the narrow slots for the bumper brackets.Also weird side curtains, I’ve seen this one for sale with larger pictures some time in the past.

Hey guys, my Daytona VW MiGi does not have the rounded top on the engine cover. Also, my windshield brackets are the husky aluminum slanted inverted T-type. I do have the slots for the bumper brackets but the side curtains are more conventional. I do have the shortened radiator grill. …and the raised albeit wooden MG-like inset for the gauges. Does this mean that my MiGi is a later variety? I suppose that it doesn’t really matter but it’s cold and drizzling here. I thought that mine was one of the first, but it seems (according to Larry) that it’s not.
