• Last MOT: May 2019A rare and genuine example of a classic Volkswagen Beetle, first registered on 27/ 11/ 1970 with just 90, 392 miles – all documented. Finished in timeless Diamond Blue, this Beetle is in great original condition, having been cherished by just 5 owners – two from the same family for most of its life.
Condition:
The interior is in excellent shape with only two minor scuffs on the driver’s seat. Headlining, visors, and interior paintwork remain in fantastic condition. The original owner meticulously touched up stone chips and rust spots using blue Hammerite, especially around common trouble areas like the headlights and door seams.
The passenger door shows some flaking and will need attention soon. The runner boards also need replacing. The exterior is otherwise highly original and solid for a 50+ year-old car.

In the past few years, the following maintenance has been completed:
• New brake shoes, front cylinders, bearings, brake drum, and brake fluid
• Fresh engine and gearbox oil
• Replaced plugs, points, condenser, distributor, rotor arm, vacuum hose, coil, plug leads, and fuel filter
• £500 welding done for MOT in 2016
• All work carried out as preventative maintenance for peace of mind
A true time capsule, ready for a caring new owner.
