"This pleasant Beetle has been off the road for an extended period but is now registered and back in traffic. There are details to look over, but it is an honest and charming car ready for enthusiast meets and outings."

Description

This car was first registered for road use on July 10, 1974. According to the Swedish Transport Agency, it has had five owners and is said to have been driven in Dalarna. There, it was deregistered for many years from the late 1990s and was stored in a barn/garage in Äppelbo. Just over a year ago, the current owner took over, and he has driven it a fair amount. It has been serviced and fitted with new tires. The odometer reading is reportedly genuine, but this cannot be guaranteed. Included are an owner's manual and two sets of keys.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Starts easily and the engine ran normally. There was a hint of gasoline/exhaust smell on one occasion. During a shorter test drive on smaller country roads and in a residential area, everything seemed to work well in terms of steering, clutch, gearbox, and brakes.
    Not checked on a lift, but what could be seen looked good, and no remarks at vehicle inspections.

  • Interior condition

    Original interior with normal wear and patina. Good comfort in seats and rear seat. Good door panels and trim panels. Headliner with minor damage. Carpets in good condition. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard and gauges in good condition. Everything appears to be working. Period radio-cassette player with unverified function. Trunk in good original condition.

  • Exterior condition

    Paintwork in a pleasant light blue color. Normal wear for its age with some scratches, dents, and touch-ups. Glass, chrome, trim, emblems, and lighting details in good condition. Good wheels and hubcaps with newer tires. Whitewall tires, but the protective material is still in place – they will turn white with a wash. Engine compartment in good original condition.

  • General condition

    A nice Beetle with some patina from use. Drive it as is, or refine it to your taste. A 1303 S is always an appreciated classic and enthusiast car.

Facts about the model

Countless column inches have been written about the history of the Beetle, everything from the project's start in the 1930s, how British soldiers got production going after World War II, and how the first cars found their way to Sweden and Scania Vabis in 1948. So we'll jump straight ahead to the 1970s. The later models of the VW Type 1 became increasingly powerful, gained more luggage space, and received period-typical interior details for improved safety, such as built-in headrests. For the 1971 model year came the 1302S with the 1600 engine producing 50 hp. They also received MacPherson front suspension, which provided greater front luggage space, as well as IRS rear suspension. These latter upgrades improved handling and comfort. For 1973 came another upgrade in the 1303S model, featuring an all-new dashboard and a panoramic windshield. On the exterior, larger taillights and a fuel filler door with a "finger grip."
It was the last "Beetle" built in Germany 1973-75 (the Convertible model was built until 1978). Today it is regarded as the liveliest, safest, and most comfortable Beetle.

  • 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.
