Description

This car was sold to an operating room nurse in Gothenburg, who ordered and bought it new from a VW dealer in Kungälv in 1975. She owned and used the car until 2014, when she was just over 80 years old, decided to stop driving . During all these years, the car had only been driven and used by herself, and the only other people who rode in the car were a friend, sometimes and her beloved dog who always sat in the back seat.
In 2015, the car was then sold to a VW collector's wife, who only used it sparingly during the summer. It has not been driven very much as the owner's family has several other VW cars in their collection. That is the reason why they now choose to sell it on.
The car is in an unusually fine used condition. It is whole and fresh both inside and out. The apple green 70s color is for the most part the car's original paint. There are some repairs and minor blemishes and some small blisters and repairs (see pictures). Nice interior and fresh luggage and engine compartment.
The car runs very nicely and the engine pulls strongly and the gears engage easily and distinctly. Brakes and handbrake take perfectly. The odometer reading is 135,000 and can be verified via about 20 inspection reports. This is also felt when you drive it, i.e. lively, tight, and without play or squeak. Original purchase contract and keys as well as about 20 inspection reports and receipts are included. It can also be mentioned that the 1975 model of the Bubbla is the last year model for the German-built Bubbla 1303S. VW in Sweden took in just under 900 cars that year, (then in competition with the newly launched Golf), which makes it a very unusual car today. In contrast to previous VW beetles, this one has, among other things, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, which makes it a completely different experience and feeling. So an unusually good Bubbla and a good model year.

  • Exterior condition:

    Whole and nice body, and good underneath. No notable rust damage or anything else. Over the years, the car has been repaired and looked after well, but also due to its age, has had various repairs carried out over the years. Paint blister on left rear wing.
