Description
Very nice Volkswagen Beetle convertible.
This model belonged to its last owner (an officer in the navy) for 32 years and has always been kept in Hawaii, which explains the excellent overall condition of its body, solid and without corrosion.
Initially delivered in 1979 in white, it was restored and repainted blue about 20 years ago. On that occasion, cavity treatment and additional protection were carried out. The body is therefore sound, corrosion-free, despite some minor signs of use such as small paint chips.
The fabric roof is in good condition, with a previous tear repaired. The vehicle is also equipped with a top boot.
This Beetle is powered by its 1. 6-litre air‑cooled flat-four engine, fitted with Bosch L-Jetronic injection, delivering smooth and reliable running. The front brakes have been modernised with a switch to disc brakes, giving a real safety gain.
A number of recent works have been carried out:
- injector cleaning in March 2023, - battery replacement in July 2024, as well as replacement of the fuel pressure regulator and the cylinder head temperature sensor in October and November 2024.
A major overhaul was conducted by a specialist in France in September 2025 for more than €5, 000, notably including:
- spark plug replacement, engine and gearbox oil change, filters, wheel alignment, new tyres, brake system bleed, replacement of suspension arms and bushings, fuel pump, geometry, etc.
The vehicle comes with its original manual, service book, and a file of invoices.
Very pleasant to drive, this Beetle Cabriolet offers genuine driving pleasure while remaining economical to run and maintain.
Serviced and with 12 months' warranty.
Visible by appointment only in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
