Volkswagen Typ1 Bubbla 1200 Sunroof — 1960

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts easily and runs well. A compression test shows even values across all cylinders. The clutch engages somewhat high but functions properly, and the gears and brakes are also working well. At startup, the spark plugs were changed, and it's certainly time for a review and overhaul of the other ignition parts, as well as a general service after having been stationary for a longer period. It hasn't been checked on a lift. However, at the latest inspection, no remarks were made. Nonetheless, a Beetle approaching retirement age could surely use a thorough check-up and maintenance. For instance, the foot steps have rust damage.

• Interior condition

  The seats, rear bench, fabric carpets, headliner, and upholstery have been quality renovated 30 yeas ago, and are in fine condition. Door panels are original with some wear. Instruments, steering wheel, and dashboard are in good condition for their age. Instrument lighting out of order. There's an original Philips radio that has been converted by Benndorf Radio to FM but can also be used on the AM band.

• Exterior condition

  A 40-year-old repaint in white (the original color was probably light gray) that has its blemishes. Shiny parts, glass, and rubber are in good condition with some patina. Wheels and tires are in fine shape. The sunroof has been redone and is nice and tight. The engine and luggage compartments are in good and patinated condition.

• General condition

  A delightful Beetle in original design, with both period-specific extras and upgrades that have been made over the years. It has been used, mainly as a summer car, with the roof open. In many ways, a lovely car from the happy 1960s. As is increasingly the case, use it as it is or refine it to your liking. The starting point is both charming and pleasant - a true classic and a joy to drive.

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.
