Description
The odometer currently shows 86,086 km. We estimater the total milage to just over 186,000 km as the odo-meter has rolled over once.
A simple to-do list: install new running boards, and keep the paint as-is with some touch-up and rust repair around the wing edges. Buy a new carpet set, clean the upholstery, and then hit the road to enjoy that unmistakable boxer engine sound with the spring wind in your hair. The car is inspection-exempt.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine was rebuilt in 2018 and starts easily. The gearbox operates smoothly, and the brakes engage straight and evenly. The chassis feels solid, and the overall driving experience is as expected. The engine note is slightly louder than normal, likely due to a small exhaust leak. There is also a minor electrical grounding issue affecting the turn signals, which should be resolved by cleaning a ground connection. The car is inspection-exempt.
-
Interior condition
Slightly dirty front seats and a repaired tear in the driver’s seat, otherwise a red original interior in presentable condition. The carpets are worn and have come loose a bit at the edges. Door panels are in good shape.
-
Exterior condition
Touch-up paint is visible in several areas, the engine lid is damaged, and rust blisters are present around the wing edges (see pictures). The running boards on both sides need replacing, and the rear floor section, including the battery tray, has been repaired. It’s possible to leave it as-is, but replacing the running boards is recommended. The soft top is in good condition with a fresh inner lining. The car also features newer Vitour Galaxy R1 tires with a vintage look, mounted on original wheels with stylish hubcaps.
-
General condition
With some simple cosmetic fixes, you’ll have a presentable and fun VW Cabriolet. Parts are easily available and inexpensive to replace.
