"The car is owned by a VW enthusiast who wanted to keep the car in its current condition but had to make extensive repairs to the driveline and electrics in order to get it back on the road. It runs and drives perfectly, and it was inspected and approved for life in September 2021."

Description

The owner discovered the car in a barn many years ago and planned to use it as a donor car for another 1950's VW Beetle rebuild, but after a while he decided it was too good to pass up and waited a few years to get it back on the road. He started by upgrading to a 1500c engine with 38hp from 1964, then went over and replaced worn parts like clutches, brakes, wiring and electrics, and welding the floors to get the cars ready for re-registration and inspection in September 2021. The 1500cc engine runs and drives well, and it handles and stops properly, though the brake pedal height should be reduced slightly. The car is a "Patina Queen," with lots of old welding work, dents, rough paintwork, and a very worn interior, but that just adds to the charm, and many VW fans, including myself, want it that way. The car is from the Västerås region and has a mileage of at least 180,000 km, according to the owner's plate.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and drives speedily, with good gearshifts, handling, and brakes. All of the electric has been checked and it still has a 6 Volt system and everything works, but there is no heater system installed. The is ready to drive home and comes with a lifetime free inspection/MOT.

  • Interior condition:

    Except for the rear seat, the interior is complete and usable but very worn. It is up to the buyer whether to keep it as is or to renovate it.

  • Exterior condition:

    Patina and only being original once really sums up the exterior, which is complete with dents, rust, repairs, and worn paint and chrome. However, it has passed inspection and the owner has welded the floors, so it still feels solid. Keep as is or completely renovate to your liking.

  • General condition:

    The car has a reasonable price for a "Oval" and plenty of options for the buyer; I would personally keep it in this condition and enjoy driving it.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
