The Appeal
The Volkswagen Beetle as iconic as it gets. Created as an everyman's car, it's rapidly become beloved for its distinctive shape, reliable air-cooled engine, and simple, robust engineering.
This specific Beetle stands out for its impressive originality and careful restoration. With just 33,514 miles on the clock, which we're told is most likely genuine due to having been kept in dry storage for most of its life, the current owner took on a "labour of love" to create this fabulous example.
It's now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner. A great opportunity for a fan of Volkswagen's legendary 'bug'!
