Description
The car was purchased in 1977 by a man who used it sparingly until 1980, when it was transferred to the prior owner's brother; the car had then driven approximately 40,000 kilometers. He sold it to his brother, who was a keen car enthusiast and took good care of it. The car was used sparingly in the summer for modest excursions.
A burglary occurred in the car on the driver's side, causing the chrome trim and window frame to be damaged. The window frame was repaired, however there are some blisters and the chrome trim is still damaged. In expection to the window frame, the car has its original 1957 paint.
The car has been in the villa garage since 1994, has started every year without issue, and has not been driven since the summer of 2014. When the owner died in 2016, his wife took care of the car but did not drive it until the summer of 2020, when it was inspected/MOTed. As a result, she want to sell it to a VW fan who will continue to care for it.
