"A wonderful car in every respect – it’s rare to find a matching-numbers VW Bubbla with such low mileage. Most examples like this belong in museums, but this one has been lovingly cared for by the nephew since he inherited it"

"A wonderful car in every respect – it’s rare to find a matching-numbers VW Bubbla with such low mileage. Most examples like this belong in museums, but this one has been lovingly cared for by the nephew since he inherited it"

Description

The car was purchased new by the owner's uncle in 1960 from Knut Bjurs Bil AB in Linköping and has remained on the family farm ever since. It was sparingly used during his ownership—the longest journey being a 120 km trip to the Skänninge market in the early 1960s. Otherwise, it was only driven on short local outings. The uncle took great care of the car and continued to use it until 1988, when he stopped driving due to deteriorating eyesight. By then, the car had covered just 48,000 kilometers.

According to the current owner, early maintenance included rust repairs on both side sills, rustproofing, and regular oil changes and servicing.

A bit of trivia: the current owner (the nephew) was present as a seven-year-old when the car was purchased and vividly remembers seat belts and a steering lock being selected as optional extras.

The paintwork is largely original, except for the left front wing which has been replaced. There are also various touch-ups around the car, and some rust is visible along the lower edges of the rear wings.

All repairs have been carried out by the current owner, who has worked as a service manager at a brand-name car workshop for the past 20 years. The only reason for selling the car now is due to age.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Drove well on the test drive, with everything working as it should. Recent work includes new wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake lines, oil change, filter cleaning, and lubrication of the front suspension. The exhaust was replaced in 2018, and the heat chambers have been removed. Fitted with nice wheels, chrome hubcaps, and good older tires. Inspection-exempt and ready to drive home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete, original, and well preserved. Seats are in good condition overall, with minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster. Door cards, panels, carpets, and headliner are all in good shape with just a few marks. The dashboard is clean, everything works as it should, and there’s slight wear on the steering wheel.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and almost entirely original, apart from the front left wing and both sills. There are older signs of welding repairs on the right rear inner wheel arch and similar work at the front. The only notable rust is around the lower edges of the rear wings beneath the bumper. The paintwork is bright and mostly original, with some touch-ups here and there—mainly on the bonnet and rear wings. A few small paint bubbles are visible on the left wing (see pictures). Chrome work all around is bright and clean, with minor oxidation in places.

  • General condition:

    Now’s your chance to become the third owner of this 1960 “Bubbla” – a wonderful car with amazing history, matching numbers, and exceptionally low mileage. This is virtually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • 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.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
