Chassis No. – WVWZZZ1YZ4M332919
M. O. T. – January 2026
Odometer – 24, 000
This 2004 Volkswagen Beetle is one of those ultra-desirable and oh-so-rare cars – a genuine one lady owner from new example. A 1. 6-litre petrol version in gleaming red with a grey fabric interior, it has religiously received an annual service – with a full 20 stamps recorded in the service book. With an odometer reading just 24, 000 miles, it has two keys, all the original manuals within the book pack, along with the original tool kit and original radio. The vendor is happy to confirm the car has been “meticulously maintained” and will come with a 12-month MOT.
‘7890VW’ is a Category C write-off, which the vendor explains was due to a minor fire in 2014. “The starter motor got stuck, but fortunately the bonnet was open. We have picture evidence of the fire; there was no damage to any part of the vehicle, and it only caught the edge of the wiring loom. It was just two wires and the wiring loom that needed to be replaced, nothing else.” They confirm the engine, transmission and electrics are all now in top-grade ‘excellent’ condition.
The ’Volkswagen New Beetle’ was one of the first so-called retro revivals. First seen as a concept in 1994, the production car was revealed in 1997 to begin production 1998. Derived from the Mk4 Volkswagen Golf, the charming exterior style was unique, as was the open-plan art-deco interior. There was even a flower vase on the dashboard. Using Golf mechanicals ensured it was reliable and cheap to run, and the model became even more appealing in 2003 with the launch of a New Beetle Convertible. Today, this popular car is becoming an increasingly recognised modern classic in its own right.
In summary:
2004 Volkswagen Beetle has covered just 24, 000 miles
One lady owner
Meticulously maintained with annual servicing and 20 service stamps
