We are delighted to offer this truly unique and eye-catching 2003 Smyth Beetle UTE, a standout custom build that blends the unmistakable styling of the Volkswagen Beetle with the practicality and presence of a pickup.

Finished in an incredibly vibrant Viper Green, this example is not one for the faint-hearted - it turns heads everywhere it goes and has a real presence on the road. The quality of the conversion is immediately apparent, with clean lines, excellent panel fitment and a well-executed rear bed that integrates seamlessly into the original Beetle design.

Based on a Beetle V5 Sport, it retains the character and usability of the original whilst offering something far more distinctive. Under the bonnet sits the desirable V5 engine, which provides a fantastic soundtrack further enhanced by a custom stainless steel exhaust system, giving it a genuinely impressive and unique tone.

A significant amount of money has been invested into this build, with approximately £20,000 spent on the conversion alone, and importantly this is all supported by documentation. It comes with a full photo album detailing the entire build process, alongside invoices and paperwork outlining the work carried out and parts replaced.

Mechanically, it has also seen recent attention. The engine was replaced last year with a lower mileage unit (c.83,000 miles), and prior to installation, both timing chains were replaced along with a new clutch, ensuring peace of mind for the next owner. Supporting invoices are present within the history file.

The Ute was IVA tested in 2025 and passed, meaning it benefits from an exemption from MOT testing for the next three years - an excellent advantage and a testament to the quality of the build.

Inside, the cabin remains true to its Beetle origins, featuring a black leather interior which is clean, comfortable and in keeping with the character. It’s a nice blend of originality and individuality, with a few subtle additions without detracting from the overall feel.

Overall, this is a brilliantly executed and highly usable custom that offers something genuinely different. Whether you're looking for a show car, a promotional vehicle, or simply something to enjoy on the road that nobody else will have, this Smyth Beetle UTE ticks every box.

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-built, well-documented and seriously cool custom Beetle and believed to be one of 5 in the UK.
