"A Beetle in convertible configuration in the right condition and the right color."

Description

This car is owned by a man who has also owned it once before. He bought it for the first time in the 1980s. He didn't have it for long that time and eventually sold it. It became available for sale again in 2017, and he didn't hesitate to buy it back. During the time he has owned the car, it has been sparingly used, about 400 km per season, and it has mostly been parked in the garage. Considering that he has barely used the car, his interest in it has diminished. The VW has been partially repainted, which can be seen on the fenders and rear part, but the doors and engine hood likely still have the original paint. During the owner's time, the car has received a new clutch, renovation of the rear brakes (shoes and brake cylinders), replacement of front brake pads, new front shock absorbers, and refurbishment of the front struts. The floor has been replaced at the rear and partially repaired, left front. Otherwise, the floor has been scraped and rust-proof painted. The car has been undercoated, and it looks good. The convertible top is in poor condition with some damage, a new one is included, see picture. The upholstery is original, and the driver's seat has some damage. Otherwise, the upholstery and door panels are in good condition. A small but nice detail is that the owner has managed to obtain a new original ignition lock. The VW previously had a lock with a replacement key that was installed at some point. Four white spoke wheels with tires are included with the car. Other parts are also included separately, such as three bumpers, see pictures. Interesting to note is that the engine was replaced at 49 000 km in 1977, see picture

    Partially original paint in good condition. The fenders and rear section have been repainted. There is damage from a rear-end collision on the right rear fender, as shown in the picture. The convertible top has been repaired but a new one is included with the car, as shown in the picture.

Facts about the model

After production of the Beetle began, open-top versions were introduced from 1949. There were various variants, both two-seaters and four-seaters, but the Karmann versions took over. Their four-seater versions had solid craftsmanship from the start with good precision. This especially applied to the convertible top arrangement, made of high-quality and durable materials, which also worked well in winter. The open-top models evolved much like a regular "beetle".

The later models of the VW Type 1 became increasingly powerful, with larger luggage space and contemporary interior details for increased safety, such as built-in headrests. By 1973, a completely new dashboard and panoramic windshield were introduced. Externally, there were larger taillights and a tank lid with a "fingergrip". Despite being a completely different car from the original, it still had a similar feel. A car to fall in love with...
