Vw Beetle 1500cc 1968 Type 1 Karmann Covertible Semi Automatic Gearbox LHD for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 396 votes

A rare semi auto type 1 Beetle and a much loved and looked after classic. She was imported from Florida in 1991 and was well maintained and kept garaged by her than owner. and also by myself.

There is extensive history with "Lola" as she is now known dating back to the very first Bill of sale in Florida. Also all service receipts etc. too much history to list all. but very extensive.

The semi auto gearbox is like driving a manual but with no clutch. all this adding to the driving experience. /strong>

She is Tax exempt. and is currently Mot. d and taxed  The condition is very good and has been well maintained over the years.

When I bought her I drove the 200 miles back to my home in the midlands with no problems she coped with this distance very well and have also driven to various vw shows since owning her. /strong>

I have owned "Lola" for 2 years and have used her as a wedding car in my Chauffeur business. nbsp;every time she is on the road she always turns heads and attracts a lot of attention. Stunning in the summer with top down. /strong>

During this time she has been serviced. had a carb refurb. a new Dynamo and runs on 12v. nbsp;At time of purchase she had a new battery and starter motor all in good working order 

The 1500cc engine from the Type 3 was the USA preferred spec. nbsp;also a few other specs ie: Vertical placed headlights and a more angular deck lid to incorporate the bigger engine. /strong>

The interior is in good condition inc original stereo. Having the high back US spec seats. the hood I believe to be original and good condition except for 2 small rips on the edges. nbsp;some dinks and blemishes on body as shown in photos. but overall in a good condition for a 46 year old car.

This is a reluctant sale and hope her new owner would cherish her and keep in an original condition and not want to do a chop shop conversion of some sort.

A £300 Deposit required within 24hrs of auction ending.
