"There is something special about a VW Type 1 Cabriolet, a true classic. This one features a nice color combination, good functionality, and a pleasant condition. It is user-friendly, inspection exempt for life, and ready to drive home."

Description

This car was sold new in Sweden and has had a total of 9 owners. The current owner bought the car in 2005, so they have owned it for nearly 20 years. His wife recently inherited the car from her husband. It has only been driven as a summer car under their ownership and has always been stored in a warm garage during the winter months. They have driven it a lot locally and have always ensured it was well-serviced and kept in usable condition. Recently, they spent 32,000 kr on a new roof and headliner.

Overall, the car is in very presentable condition, featuring an eye-catching Maya Yellow color. There are no standout rust issues, but there are some small paint defects on the bonnets and around the driver door, likely due to an older repaint from the 1990s (see pictures). Older documentation includes many inspection reports, the handbook, and some receipts. However, older owner history isn't available.

Note! This car cannot be sold for export. During the renovation, the chassis was replaced with a newer one from a VW 1303. Therefore, the chassis number does not match the body type plate. The body is a 1302, while the chassis, gearbox, and engine come from a 1303. On the repainted type plate (see picture), the original chassis number that this body was linked to is visible. It starts with 152, indicating that the car is a 1302 convertible from the 1972 model year. It also states Type 15 on the plate, which is an original convertible. The car is sold as is, in its current condition, with these conditions. For this reason, the car is not suitable for export, as this may cause issues with registration in another country.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car is easy to start, and the engine runs smoothly. The clutch and gearbox feel reliable, as do the suspension and brakes. It is fitted with an extra digital voltmeter, a newer radio plus extra speakers, and comes with 2 keys. It also has nice wheels with good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is very well kept, featuring nice, undamaged front and rear seats, a clean dashboard, and functioning gauges. The door cards and carpets are in good condition, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy while driving.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car is very attractive and stands out, with no serious rust damage—just some small blisters around the front headlights (see pictures). The body panels are straight, and the underbody is clean with no rust on the floors. The paint looks good and would look great with a polish, though it has a few touch-ups and stone chips highlighted in the pictures. The chrome work all around is bright and clean. There is a small crack in the rubber on the rear bumper corner. The roof is virtually new and looks great.

  • General condition:

    Cool looking VW Cabriolet is the perfect car to enjoy this summer. The small cosmetic issues can be fixed over time and nothing requires urgent work. With a nice polish, it will look even better.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
