"A gem of a car that has done well over the years. Of course, there are minor issues with the bodywork, paint, and interior, as well as work to be done underneath. The engine is strong, although one cylinder has lower compression. However, it is has patina of an unrenovated car with its original engine and condition that is highly valued nowadays, rather than spectacular renovations. We get a lovely dose of nostalgia with this German / Swedish car and  heritage."

Description

This car has had three owners since January 13, 1959, with the most recent being in 1984. It has been used and carefully cared for throughout the years, and it now has a lovely patina. Working indicator arrows, chrome wheel hubcaps, nice rear-view mirrors, and, of course, the sunroof add to the nostalgic ambiance. Original instruction book, service booklet, and accessories are included. The vehicle has been inspected/MOT for the final time. The metre reads 15460 km, and we believe the automobile has travelled 115,460 km but cannot confirm it.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Runs well but jerks a little at 60 km / h. A cylinder has lower compression. Otherwise, it works well and brakes and shifts impeccably.

  • Interior condition

    More than sixty years have left their mark, with fixed ceilings and textile mats in good shape, probably having been updated throughout the years. The seats are in good shape.

  • Exterior condition

    Paint, glass and chrome in patinated condition. The sunroof works well and is in very good condition. There are rust patches under and near the footsteps.

  • General condition

    A well-functioning and used Bubbla in "untouched" patinated original condition, but has had various repairs and maintenance carried out over the years.

Facts about the model

Det finns spaltmil skrivna om historiken kring VW 1200, allt från projektets start under 30-talet, hur engelska soldater drog igång verksamheten efter andra världskriget och hur de första vagnarna letade sig till Sverige och Scania Vabis 1948. Så vi hoppar raskt vidare tio år till 1958. Då kom bl.a. en större "rektangulär" bakruta, ändrad radiogrill, riktig pedal till gasen samt mindre framlyktor. Året efter infördes bl.a. polstrat solskydd, kromad signalring till ratten samt tryckknapp på dörrhandtag, vilket kan betyda att det här exemplaret är en 58:a som har registrerats som en 59:a, då de senare uppdateringarna inte finns. Oavsett, så avslutar VW 50-talet i härlig stil.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
