Description
1959 Volkswagen Beetle.
A genuine pleasure car that starts and runs reliably over any distance in all weather conditions. I drive it regularly throughout the year, every weekend, to keep my little beauty in good working order.
Full exterior/ interior restoration in 2020. (USB stick provided with photos) floorpans & sills replaced.
Cast iron engine 30bhp - 4-speed gearbox OK - Converted to 12V for improved reliability
Heating removed to prevent corrosion.
Odometer reading not certified: 85, 900 km, gradually increasing as the car is driven regularly.
Origin: Portugal
Excellent bodywork and interior presentation.
Tartan patterned fabric upholstery in pristine condition, looks stunning.
Stickers fitted last year, can be removed very easily.
French classic registration document in my name - No MOT required as it was first registered before 1960.
Nevertheless, following its restoration, an MOT was carried out in 05/ 2020 at 80, 657 km, with only one minor note regarding "excessive tyre wear".
Items to address: * fuel gauge inaccurate * front windscreen slightly scratched in one spot. Ready to enjoy as is or an excellent base for a light restoration project.
Recent work carried out:
* Kill switch installed by professional
* 4 new tyres
* fuel pump
* 4 spark plugs
* rear brake kit
* Wheels shot-blasted & repainted by professional
* service completed in 04/ 2026 at 85, 600 km
Turn the key and drive.
