The Appeal

The 1303S was the most advanced iteration of the Volkswagen Beetle. It was based upon the so-called 'Super Beetle' platform, with Macpherson Strut front suspension. The 1303 had a curved windscreen and padded dashboard, while the added letter 'S' denotes the 1.6-litre twin-port flat-four.

The vendor tells us of this example:

"She is a great little car, and I could be making a big mistake selling her. What will be will be. She’s fun to drive, makes you smile, and always draws attention, looks great, runs good, she just needs someone who can spend some time with her. I had an initial MOT-type inspection, changed the carburettor and had the engine tuned in 2022 and she’s been going ever since."

Guardado bajo cubierta en la entrada, usado para viajes cortos en verano (evitando la lluvia)
Exento de MOT y del impuesto de circulación
Pasó una inspección inicial tipo MOT, cambio de carburador y ajuste del motor en 2022

Existe una serie de facturas desde los años 70, incluyendo historial de servicio inicial y registros de MOT
A comienzos de los 80 se realizaron obras importantes y de nuevo en los 90 facturas por obras mayores, incluido el motor
A principios de los 2000 hay numerosas facturas y fotos de una reconstrucción

The Condition

Ejemplar muy presentable y atractivo, con llantas de aleación traseras de serie
Un par de áreas con pintura burbujeante, pero se nos informa que el coche está en buen estado general
Algún daño en la pintura de la puerta del conductor
Hombros delanteros de tipo antiguo montados, con indicadores además de los de la defensa
Faltan gomas del capó, pero hay repuestos y listos para instalar
Algún daño alrededor de donde se une la tapa del techo corredizo con el techo
Incluye una funda para el coche
Se incluyen cubiertas de luz trasera de repuesto

El interior se beneficiaría de algo de atención:

El salpicadero está partido, pero hay un salpicadero de repuesto listo para instalar
La cabina está manchada
El asiento del conductor tiene un desgarro y los asientos delanteros podrían someterse a una renovación
El respaldo trasero está en buen estado pero es distinto de los delanteros
No está disponible la parte frontal del reproductor de CD

The Mechanics

1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four
Cambio manual de cuatro velocidades
Mecánicamente sólido, supuestamente arranca bien, mantiene el ralentí y acelera libremente
Incluye un nuevo sondidor de depósito de combustible, ya que uno instalado no lee correctamente
El vendedor comenta que el Beetle está bien para uso local y se maneja bien en la autopista
