The Volkswagen Beetle or 'Bug'. was produced from 1938 until
2003. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled. br/>rear-engined. rear-wheel drive configuration. the Beetle is the
longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design
platform anywhere in the world. During the 1950's. the car was
modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned
the rear windows. In March 1953. the small oval two-piece rear
window was replaced by a slightly larger single-piece window. More
dramatically. in August 1957. a much larger full width rear window
replaced the oval one. Towards the end of 1964. the height of the
side windows and windscreen grew slightly. giving the cabin a less
pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very
slightly curved ('panoramic') windscreen. although the curve was
barely noticeable. The original flat-four boxer design had fewer
than 200 moving parts and has made numerous appearances in
Hollywood films. most notably Disney's 'The Love Bug' comedy series
from 1968 to 2005. starring as a pearl-white. 1963 Beetle-racing
number 53. 'Herbie'.

This lefthand drive Beetle convertible was first registered in
Germany and was imported into the UK in 1985. The original German
service book is included with the documents. The current vendor has
been the custodian of this delightful machine since May 2006 and
has enjoyed her immensely. completing a number of long summer
excursions. Finished in green with two-tone interior and a black
hood. this Volkswagen is supplied with a good history file. V5
registration document and a current MoT test certificate. We are
advised FVG 45J drives with no known faults and with summer just
around the corner. this is an opportunity to purchase an extremely
pretty classic in good order throughout.
