"A well-executed restoration from around 25 years ago that has held up nicely and is still in excellent condition."

Description

The car was purchased by the current owner's father, who was a skilled mechanic and had a small collection of cars and motorcycles. It underwent a thorough restoration and repainting in the late 1990s and has been sparingly used during the summer months since then. As the car is not being used enough, the owner wishes to sell it so that an enthusiast can enjoy it. The original instruction manual is included.

Facts about the model

The Volkswagen Type 1 retained its basic shape, but there were updates and improvements introduced practically every year. In 1959, it was the last year for the semaphores (turn signals) located on the B-pillar. New features included an anti-roll bar and a reinforced clutch. The previous year saw the introduction of a regular gas pedal instead of a roller accelerator, and a major update was the addition of a larger rear window. However, it would take another two years before a fully synchronized gearbox and an increased power output of 34 horsepower (compared to 30 horsepower) were introduced.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • 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.

  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
