As iconic as the hippie era, its "Peace & Love" symbol and flower petals, the Beetle was designed to be simple and economical, contributing to its mass adoption by new generations of drivers in the 1960s. Since then, the Beetle has become more than a classic; it's a pop culture legend.
This Beetle is distinguished by its bright orange paintwork and its interior, which has been fully restored by a professional saddler and all the floors changed (with invoices available). This car has been given a new lease of life and is simply waiting for its new owner.
