VW Beetle 1971 Condition 1 for sale
Current customer rating: (543 votes ) based on1971 VW Beetle 1300. nbsp;Pastel White/Black
Garaged from new. with a full and total service history from 1971 to date. all documented. All bills. invoices and documentation from day one are included with the car. There is a huge history file to confirm and detail the 92400 original miles. The service book is full and has a stamped record every step of the way. and the original order form is also included. There is a massive collection (probably every piece of paper) of invoices. MOT's. service schedules and repairs from 1971 to date. First owner for 27 years. and the car has been serviced on the button every time. The service book is full and overflowing!Anything its ever needed (and more) it has had. and the records confirm this. Its not often such a comprehensive history is available. its worth its weight in gold and totally confirms the provenence of this car.
The original instruction manual is in the glovebox. and the original locks and keys are also complete. There are many MOT's. and the "birth certificate" from the VW museum confirms the engine and chassis number match. and the specification is correct. There are two brand new tyres on the rear. and a fitted pair of recently fitted original NOS (New Old Stock) VW mudflaps (£100+)
The car is stock and standard and is unmolested. clearly cherished all its life. The car was undersealed. and Ziebarted (rustproofed) from new. and as suchremains in excellent original condition. At the last MOT (June 2012) I had the car re Waxoiled underneath. Its probably done less than 300 miles since. The headlining is perfect. the door cards and panels are also in first class condition There are no rips. no tears no damage to the door cards. and crucially no holes for speakers etc. The standard original interior is good and has the original dealer fitted under dash shelf. and the original dealer fitted 1970's Blaupunkt radio housed in a VW under dash console. The beading on the drivers seat is loose around the front of the base.
The car drives. brakes and steers superbly. Its peppy and enthusisatic. There are no issues at all with the engine or drivetrain whish is smooth and quiet. The heaters work perfectly. There are a couple of tiny blemishes as should be expected with any car this age that hasnt been re-painted. but I will leave them so the new owner can see how original and clean this car is.
There are many Beetles around for sale. but not many clean original stock examples with such a detailed and comprehensive history file. I considered that carefully when I bought this car. as it repaced a rare Oval now in a museum. I prefer this car though. honest straight and lovely. It will be really missed and impossible to replace so if it doesnt make its (realistic) reserve thenI'm quite happy to keep it. show it and enjoy it.
It just remains to say this is a genuine car for sale by a genuine seller. so please no tyre kickers I require a 10% non-refundable deposit payable through Paypal within 24 hrs of the auction end. and collection of the car is to be made within 7 days. Cash payment of the balance at time of collection. or cleared funds prior to collection. The car won't be released until its paid for.
