"A charming and stylish retro Beetle that exudes the spirit of historic racing."

Description

A very cool retro build that combines nostalgia from historic rally and racing in a fun way. The car is originally a Type 1 but features Porsche 356 wheels and a tuned 1850cc engine. It has a raw sound and performs impressively.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Technically, the car is in very good condition. There are a few minor issues to address, such as adjusting the brakes and replacing the steering rack (a new rack is included). The car has been converted to 12V with a master switch, a start button, and a switch to turn off the fuel pump. It features a new battery, an electric fuel pump, and an aftermarket exhaust system.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in good condition with newly upholstered period-correct rally seats, Motolita 4-point harnesses, a sports steering wheel, period-correct gauges, and two white retro helmets. The rear seat has been reupholstered and new carpets have been installed. There is a bit of sagging in the headliner near the rear window.

  • Exterior condition:

    New running boards. Period-correct auxiliary lights. A few rubber seals are slightly worn. There is some visible rust on the rear fenders, but it doesn’t significantly affect the overall appearance. Otherwise, the paint and chrome are in good condition.

  • General condition:

    The overall impression is truly retro, and while many custom Beetles have been seen, this one is particularly special for enthusiasts of retro style, nostalgia, and historic rally/racing.

Owner's comment

There isn't much specific history available for this car, but it was purchased by the current owner in Örebro. Over the five years of ownership, the owner has refined the car's retro style, investing significant time and money into both the engine and the interior. The owner is selling the car due to a move and lack of space.

Facts about the model

The production of the iconic Volkswagen Type 1 cars in Sweden played a significant role in the country's automotive industry and provided Swedes with a reliable and beloved car model. Scania-Vabis, which later became Scania, was granted the opportunity to produce the Beetle in Sweden through a licensing agreement with Volkswagen during the 1950s. This agreement gave the Swedish market access to these reliable vehicles, which quickly became popular among the public.

Throughout its production run, approximately 196,000 Volkswagen Type 1 cars were built in Sweden between 1953 and 1973. These impressive numbers include various model variants such as the sedan and cabriolet, as well as other special versions.

It's important to remember that these production levels reflect a time when the automotive industry and its needs were different from today. The Volkswagen Type 1 not only became a reliable car model in Sweden but also a symbol of reliability and utility worldwide.
