"This beetle is lovingly well kept by its owner, it has a few minor dents and a paint blemish, the paint work is mostly original. The car drives well with a good engine and gearbox"

Description

The owner of this car bought the car from his aunt when turned 17 years old and learnt to drive in it. The aunt had previously owned the car for 18 years earlier. Now 40 years later he still owns the car and had driven light during summer months. In the 1980´s the car was put into dry storage for many years and only driven occasionally. In 2008 the car was put back on the road and still only driven locally on nice summer days around 1000 km per year.
Most of the car has its original paint, but the left rear wing and side panel are repainted about 40 years ago. A few aged related stone chips can be found around the car and windscreen, a soft dent a few centimeters long on the door frame and side panel. Underneath the rear window near the grill has few rust dots, these are just small remarks that doesn’t distract from the car overall great condition. The paint condition is nice and has a solid under body; earlier the car had a rust prevention treatment hence why to remains in well kept. It’s fitted with new carpets and very dry and nice underneath. The interior is totally original and untouched with fantastic original seat due to its low mileage.

Facts about the model

VW Type 1, beetle or the Käfer in Germany was developed and refined for a very many years. From 1937 to 2003. Production and sales took off at the end of the 1940 century, and in the Fifties and sixties it was among the cars that were sold most in the world. 1961 is an interesting year model because then came a lot of news, happier colors and new engine, new taillights, blinkers and more. The new engine was more than 10% stronger than its predecessor and was at 34Hkr. This engine is considered the most durable of all VW engines and was used in the 1200 models which were built in Germany right up to 1978 and South America until 1996. The color of this car is called Beryllgruen L478 and is a nice light green color that only existed 1961 and 1962.
