VW Beetle: Desirable 1967/ Restored 2013/ Superb Show Car
Considered one of the single most influential cars of the 20th century, more than 21 million Volkswagen beetles were sold between 1938 & 2003. Its Autobahn-cruising reliability and "People's Car" ease of service established it as the quintessential economy car by 1950, while the quirky styling and intelligent, self-deprecating advertisements solidified its legacy as a cultural reference point.
At Milestone Classics we have a weakness for air-cooled VW’s and when this rare and highly desirable 1967 example was offered back to us (to sell for the third time) we simply could not refuse.
The Beetle formed part of a large private collection in the NE of England until 2018 during which time the car went through an extensive, high-quality restoration. Initially sold by us in 2020 and again around 2 years ago the last two owners are regular Milestone customers who like the quality of the stock we market.
