The Appeal
Let's face it, everybody knows the Beetle. Germany's legendary 'People's Car' is every bit the charming looker as it is the hard-working, easy-to-drive vehicle for the day-to-day motorist. Simplicity and austerity were at the core of the 'Bug', and just about every demographic out there quickly picked it up. The proof's in the numbers - over 21,500,000 were built, and today they remain one of the most iconic classic cars of all time.
This handsome 1961 example has been comprehensively restored by the vendor between 2011 and 2015. It's a remarkably handsome car from top-to-bottom, and was largely composed of original, period-correct factory parts. Now it comes to us with a remarkable paperwork file, and an impressive track record of long-term ownership.
