***Photos supplied by vendor***

Highlights

  • Single owner from new
  • Excellent overall condition

The Appeal

The original People’s Car, the VW Beetle is a model recognised and adored by all. Its brilliantly designed shape attracts flocks anywhere it is seen, and sparks conversation at all car events. 
This example, first registered in 1976, has spent its entire life with the same owner. During this 47-year-long ownership, it has covered a reported 81,000km and has undergone a total restoration. As such, it presents itself in near-immaculate condition both inside and out while also running as it should according to the owner.
