One of the most influential cars of all time. the remarkable VW Beetle is famous for many reasons - its roots in Nazi Germany. the duration of its production or maybe just because of the vast numbers of cars produced (21 million). Whatever the reason. it has developed a cult-like following like no other car.

Beautifully functional. the bodywork was attached to the nearly flat chassis with just 18 bolts and was so tightly constructed that it would float for several minutes if driven into water. Suspension was independent all round. using torsion bars for compactness.

The air-cooled. rear-mounted. flat-four engine drove the rear wheels and was constructed of lightweight alloy. as was the gearbox. It proved famously reliable in both the coldest winters and the hottest summers. and was capable of charging along the new autobahns flat out all day without protest. Remarkably ‘elastic'. it always felt more powerful than it actually was. While the overall appearance of the Beetle changed little. it received over 78. 00 incremental changes during its incredible 65-year production run.

The first owner of this wonderfully original car kept it until 2004.

It is fitted with the more powerful 53 bhp 1. 5 litre engine which became an option that year.

Lightly restored and repainted a few years ago. it is still pleasingly original in most respects and has clearly been well cared for throughout its life. remaining in very smart condition.

It comes with a fair amount of service history including all old MOT's back to 1995 at which point the indicated mileage was 64. 00.

Also with the car. is the red V 5 registration document. workshop manual. several old tax discs and numerous invoices.

This is a beautiful period Beetle. the best combination of year/styling and engine size. un-modified as many are. It is most definitely useable as a daily driver. whilst still enjoying inexpensive classic car insurance.

A worthwhile investment in an iconic car. will take px.
