Description
1968 early VW 411L , with only 60k kilometers from new, a very spectacular find, in Savannah Beige with Black Interior . This Vw has a special history file and is one the very early type4 411's. this was to be the future for VW as they looked forward to the 1970's and was in a way the ultimate evolution of the air cooled Volkswagen range. It was championed by the MD of VW , Heinz Heinrich Nordhoff , and was a pet project for him but sadly he passed away before the car was officially launched in October 1968 at the Paris Motor Show. We are delighted to be able to offer this one of a kind , slice of VW history , a car so original unrestored and cared for all these years. A VW 411 like this will not pass this way again!
Some more info on the 411 ; the Type 4 also introduced unibody construction, coil springs, trailing wishbone rear suspension, hydraulic clutch manual transmission – as well as MacPherson strut front suspension: the 411's front suspension layout was subsequently adopted for the VW Type 1 1302/ 1303 ("Super Beetle").
At launch, the 411 featured a 1679 cc engine with twin carburetors, subsequently modified in 1969 with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection and with claimed power output increased from 68 to 80 PS (50 to 59 kW). This fuel-injected engine was shared with the mid-engined Porsche 914, also launched in 1969. European 411 nomenclature highlighted the fuel injection with the suffix 'E' (for Einspritzung). Revisions in 1969 also included replacement of the single oval headlights with twin round headlights.
Over six-years, Type 4 production reached 367, 728, compared to 210, 082 of the subsequent Volkswagen K70 over four model years. Sales reached 119, 627 in the United States (1971-1974); 119, 094 in Germany; 34, 452 in South Africa and 13, 367 in the United Kingdom.
