Description
This stunning UK RHD 1960 Deluxe 1200 Beetle has covered a genuine 21, 754 miles from new. Retaining all its original VW parts just as it left the factory 66 years ago. This car retains all its original metalwork and has never received any welding, not does it need any. This exquisite Beetle is about as true and genuine as is possible to find. Having just been serviced it is turn-key ready to get in, drive and enjoy this summer. It is a timewarp car that I personally have added some miles to and is an absolute pleasure to drive. It does so exactly as it should. This is as near an opportunity to buying out of the VW showroom in 1960 as you could imagine.
Having owned countless Beetles and other air-cooled VW’s I have never found anything even remotely as original as this beautiful example. The number of UK market RHD cars left which have not seen action with a welding torch in their life you could probably count on one had let alone a low mileage example such as this. As the saying goes "find another".
This amazing piece of VW history wants & needs for nothing. Complete with factory Bilstein jack and optional dealer accessory VW Hazet spare wheel tool kit, this last year of semaphore indicators for the UK market car is a very rare and desirable VW indeed. It carries stunning originality that needs to be seen to be appreciated. If you’re looking for a completely correct, stunning yet usable classic VW with great provenance and superb investment potential, then this is certainly worth your attention. It is a simply stunning and achingly beautiful original UK market car so please do come and view. A former Volksworld feature car the full story which can be read in the August 2017 edition. Having been bought new in London in May of 1960 the car only spent five years on the road before being tucked away for over 50 years only to resurface in 2016. A truly amazing car with originality which is unrepeatable in restored cars. Genuine VW originality is evident wherever you look whether that be the original VW marked headlamps, VW Hella marked interior light or the original vinyl interior, it is simply stunning and being a UK RHD car, incredibly rare in this condition.
