"A delightful Volkswagen Beetle from what many enthusiasts consider its finest model year."

Description

This classic Beetle, originally built to U.S. specification, has a documented Swedish history dating back to 1969, when it was imported from Germany by Bilkompaniet in Enköping. Since then, it has been well cared for and today presents as an attractive example that combines classic styling with the benefits of an extensive restoration.

Approximately four years ago, the car underwent a comprehensive restoration. The body was professionally repaired where necessary before receiving a high-quality repaint to an excellent standard. At the same time, the engine was rebuilt and the braking system was completely overhauled, resulting in a car that is both enjoyable and reassuring to drive.

The restoration included numerous improvements. All four fenders were replaced, along with every rubber seal, giving the car a fresh and well-finished appearance. All exterior chrome trim has been renewed, further enhancing its presentation. The Beetle also rides on new tires and has been fitted with new shock absorbers all around. New running boards have been installed, while the rear stone guards in the 1950s style add a period-correct accessory that recalls earlier Beetle models.

Since the restoration, the car has seen only limited use, primarily for short local drives and visits to classic car meets and motoring events. As a result, it has retained the excellent condition in which it is presented today.

The sale includes documentation consisting of invoices and inspection records that verify the work carried out over the years.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine and drivetrain perform well. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago, and the car has seen only limited use since then. The braking system functions properly, with the brakes providing strong and confident stopping power.

  • Interior condition

    The interior shows signs of wear, as illustrated in the photos, but remains fully functional as it is. It would benefit from refurbishment for anyone looking to improve its overall presentation. The front seats appear to be fitted with aftermarket seat covers that are not easily removable. The original upholstery can be seen through the openings in these covers.

  • Exterior condition

    The body was restored and repainted approximately four years ago, with the paintwork completed to a high standard. The car is equipped with a sunroof, and the chrome trim is in excellent condition. The floorpan and underbody appear to be in good overall condition, with some visible welds consistent with the restoration work.

  • General condition

    Presented in excellent cosmetic condition and mechanically in good driver-quality order. Ready to be enjoyed throughout the summer.

Facts about the model

The major news for this model year was the introduction of the 1500 cc engine, producing 44 horsepower. In many markets, however, the Volkswagen Beetle remained available with the 1200 cc and 1300 cc engines. This year also saw the introduction of the new, more angular engine lid and four-bolt wheels.

The 1500 model was further distinguished by front disc brakes and a 1500 badge on the engine lid.
