The Attractions
The Beetle started out as an economical four-seater family car with unmistakable lines, but from the original car an almost unlimited variety of vehicles have sprung up. These include models built by Volkswagen, Porsche and an army of specialists.
The ingenious Beetle Speedster modification fused the styling of the original with influences from Porsche's famous Speedster sports cars.
This lovely Speedster was purchased from the seller earlier this year in Germany and is now duly registered in Italy. In very good condition in terms of bodywork, interior and mechanics, as the photos attest, it has an MOT valid until September 2024. It looks like it's ready to be put away while waiting for good weather to arrive.
