Volkswagen Typ1 Bubbla Split Window — 1950

• Mechanical condition

  Surprisingly smooth and easy to drive, despite having a non-synchronized gearbox that still requires a good ear and a sensitive hand. With a bit of sensitivity and determination regarding engine RPM and movements, everything works fine. The current engine is a practically new 1200 industrial engine with 30 horsepower, having only a few operating hours and just a few hundred miles on the car. There is also an original exhaust system with a stamped VW logo. It is equipped with new 16" diagonal tires of the correct type, brakes, and battery. Additionally, a motor with the correct specifications, namely a 1100 engine with 25 horsepower, is included in the purchase.

• Interior condition

  Beautifully worn and untouched, the whole point of the car is to let the objects speak for themselves, including the interior. A seat cover, along with the original upholstery in tatters on the driver's seat, does have a comfort disadvantage when the worn fabric on the backrest's entrance wear rubs against your back. However, the seat covers on the rest of the seats are more or less intact with undisturbed original upholstery underneath. The interior features a neat headliner with only a few charming moisture stains around the small divided rear window.

• Exterior condition

  An original brown paint mixed with an incredibly cool, surface-rusted exterior. This preservation approach to a vehicle may, to some extent, trigger allergic reactions in those who prefer fully restored shiny vehicles. However, most people can recognize and appreciate the beautiful grandeur of its untouched condition. All the original, untouched details are present and intact, such as the footrests, bumpers, roof rack, lights, and indicators.

• General condition

  An almost invaluable, untouched condition that has gained a high status over time, coupled with practically only two previous owners and a complete history. It doesn't get much better than this. And imagine if it gets to stay in the country and continue its Swedish ownership lineage – we don't place any specific value on that, but wouldn't it be nice?

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.
