"A brand new car in Aquarius Blue, which has gone 25 km run in by the factory. This is one of the very last made beetles. No 131 from the end of the production of 21.5 million cars. Not registered in Sweden."

Description

Bengt Holmgren's Ùltima Edición left the production line in Mexico on 24 July 2003, six days before the production ceased for good. Last manufactured car had serial number 4M905162, this car has 4M905030 meaning car number 132 of a total of 2 000 copies of Volkswagen's absolute last and most refined model of type 1 were built. The cars were offered to famous and important people around the world and this copy was offered to the Swedish king. Our monarch declines the offer, however, and instead the Volkswagen Museum at Pålsboda was given the chance to acquire the car in autumn of 2003 when it came to Sweden. However, the car it is not registered.
The last model of the classic Volkswagen was named Última Edición and the final model was produced in the last 20 days of July in 2003. This unique industrial history ended after a total of 68 years, on the 30 July 2003 at 09.05 Mexican time was over.
The fact that the car has never been registered or driven on the road enhances it value.

Facts about the model

Måhända rullade den sista tysktillverkade Folkvagnen av bandet 1978, men det betydde inte att modellen var nerlagd. Redan 1967 började Volkswagen också tillverka bilar vid sin fabrik i Puebla utanför Mexico City och 1980 hade man där byggt en miljon bilar. Försäljningen minskade dock med åren sakta men säkert. På grund av allt hårdare utsläppsregler kom i juni 2003 finalen av 68 års produktion av VW bubblan, över hela värden (21, 5 miljoner exemplar). Ùltima Edición kallades slutmodellen som skulle tillverkas i 2 000 exemplar den sista månaden och säljas till kända personer. Den sista skulle bilen skickas till Volkswagens museum i Wolfsburg.
Ùltima Edición fanns i två nostalgiska färgkombinationer: Aquarius Blue med grå inredning och Harvest Moon Beige med svart inredning. Bilarna kom med färgmatchade fälgar och däck med vit sida. Till standardutrustningen räknas kromat VW-märke, Wolfsburg-emblem, cd-stereo, handskfackslucka i samma kulör som bilen, kartfack på förardörren och full mattsats även i bagaget.
OBS! I Nordamerika och Europa har Ùltima Edición blivit kult och en internationell samlarbil som sålts för mycket höga summor. Det finns även en särskild internationell klubb för ägare till dessa bilar. Klubben ordnar träffar och event och åkte med flera bilar till Nordkapp sommaren 2017 och passade då på att besöka VW-museet i Pålsboda. Ultima bilen i Pålsboda är enligt klubben den som gått minst i världen, ja förutom den på Volkswagens museum i Wolfsburg, som gått lika lite.
