The Attractions
In 1971 Volkswagen introduced the biggest innovation in the long life of the Beetle. The Beetle 1302 was new from the front pillars forward and offered more space. With its air-cooled 1600 cc engine it also offered more power.
These changes made the 1302S more usable and therefore very popular with modern classic car enthusiasts. They are ideal as cars for everyday use.
This 1972 1302S would be perfect for everyday use and would certainly stand out, with its yellow paint and 'Herbie' decals. It has been modified to use two carburettors, an operation that usually increases performance. It is ready for use in presentable and usable condition and could be gradually improved according to the buyer's taste.
