Volkswagen Typ1 Bubbla 1300 — 1971

• Mechanical condition

  The car has been stationary for a while but starts nicely and runs well. Newer battery. The fuel pump has just been renovated due to dry membranes after a long period of inactivity. The test drive was pleasant, and the car moved along in a well-known VW manner, bringing joy behind the wheel. Everything seems to work well, but as always with a car that has been sparingly driven, an inspection should be done. Not checked on a lift, but what could be seen looked good.

• Interior condition

  The interior feels almost unused, with evident quality. Seats and rear seat are covered in nice fabric and have good resilience. Door cards are in good condition, as is the headliner. The storage area in the back is in lovely condition. There's some wrinkling around the rear window and a bit of moisture penetration at the lower corners of the rear window. The rubber mats, as well as the protective mats, are in good shape. Instrumentation, steering wheel, and controls are in fine condition. Everything appears to function. The plastic pull for the fuel door has broken off on one side of the loop, but it's no problem to open.

• Exterior condition

  The paintwork is fine and polished, likely original. There are signs of use such as a few small dents, stone chips, and scuffs. Glass, chrome, and rubber are also in good condition. The rims are in good condition with some scuffs and older Uniroyal tires. Both engine and trunk compartments are in fine condition. The engine is clean and neat, with intact water drainage caps, which is unusual. Good exhaust pipes. The trunk looks almost unused. Eberspächer kicks in but its function is uncertain and should be checked.
  Fenders with body moldings are in good condition, as are the steps with rubber and chrome.

• General condition

  Given that most of the remaining VW models from the early 70s are the upgraded 1302 version, this particular vehicle stands out. Significantly fewer were sold, making it rarer to find. In this condition, it is even more uncommon. Those models that retain a footing in the older tradition but with certain upgrades are often very appealing to enthusiasts and collectors. The condition, color combination, and execution make this one a delightful classic.

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.
