Description

For sale: 1955 oval Beetle (oval window)

The year 1955 has the particularity of having models produced only between January and the end of July; after the years/ models changed, Volkswagen went from August to August.

Originally a Swiss-export vehicle
Returned to France in the 1990s and was restored at that time (photos available).

Original 3-piece sliding sunroof (fully opening)
1200cc cast-stand engine (running perfectly) (there is simply a small oil leak to note—nothing major)
009 electronic distributor and 30 PICT carburettor with automatic choke to improve reliability, but both original parts are supplied.
Always 6-volt.

Split-case gearbox, working perfectly.

Mechanically original vehicle.
Lots of stainless fasteners, and parts were chrome-treated back in the day (no corrosion).

The interior was re-done very recently with period-correct fabrics and stitching. Seat frames have been powder-coated.

All body panels are original—no low-quality reproduction parts.
Genuine tail lights (with “hearts”)
Original Bosch headlamps
Functional indicators
Original interior handles (roof, doors, windows)

New brakes and shock absorbers
Engine oil change (Motul Classic 20W50) and gearbox oil change done.

Ready for a drive—there are a few minor imperfections. It hasn’t come out of a restoration that was done yesterday, so there are no nasty surprises from a badly executed restoration that won’t last or looks like it’s been camouflaged. Many original, quality parts—just like you could find back then.

No swaps, and please no pointless offers.
