The Appeal
This Beetle takes a leaf out of Ferdinand Porsche’s book. He bolted a supercharger onto his Beetle and shortly afterwards the cars bearing his name were born.
Recently restored and resprayed in subtle Chinchilla Grey, this is a carefully modified ‘68 Beetle that packs a serious punch. The 1,641cc engine is running a Kompressor Haus supercharger that delivers 106bhp. Full Evo Resto premium air ride provides a choice of driving styles. The specification runs on and on in similar style.
Alongside the upgrades the car has a huge history file that dates back to the 1970s. There is also a photographic record of the restoration. For those looking for a unique, high quality modified Beetle, here’s one where all the work has already been done for you.
