"A fresh car that starts and runs well but requires an engine service because it has been driven infrequently in previous years. Lovely body and interior."

Description

The car came from the USA six years ago, freshly painted and with reupholstered seats but with a worn convertible top. Now it has new carpets and a new convertible top and has been registered and made ready for driving by Fahlke's Classic Car restorations in Åmål. The car looks good and is very solid in the body and chassis thanks to the fact that it driven in a dry climate. This is one of the last German-built Bubbla cabs built by Karman in Osnabruck, since the early 1950s. Production stopped in 1979 and in recent years it was made only for the US market, they became very popular in recent years thanks to a slightly stronger injection engine (which this car also has) and that they were a 4-seater. Prior to registration, the car was given a speedometer with kilometres. Before, it had Miles meters and had traveled 176,500 miles.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and runs fine in the engine and gearbox, but the link to the gearbox is a bit loose, needs new bushings or adjustment. Newly serviced brakes. Newly inspected/MOT and approved. Engine service not done in a few years, so it is advisable to do this before driving longer distance.
    NOTE! The car inspection wrote errors in the technical data regarding the reg inspection. cylinder volume / model and number of horsepower. The right shall be 1600/60 hp. We have requested changes to this.

  • Interior condition:

    Complete and nice interior. Unusually fine dashboard and steering wheel, without cracks. Upholstered seats and new carpets and door sides. Expensive decor. The only remark is that the window winder are a bit sluggish (may be due to new rubber strips) and that the seat backs cant be folded right now with the knob for the backrest, as the saddle maker failed to make holes for the folding handle on the outside of the seats (easy to fix).

  • Exterior condition:

    Fine body, paint and chrome. New bumpers, steps, trims and rubber mouldings. Repainted in 2014, some tiny blisters can be seen above the right footstep, between the door and the rear wing. Otherwise, the paint is perfect and in the original colour.

  • General condition:

    Whole and unusually nice car that runs very well. Good condition with many new parts. Opportunity for VW enthusiasts to buy a nice model with the opportunity to refine certain details.
