The Appeal
The most iconic car to ever roll out of Germany, the Beetle's enduring appeal is the stuff of legend. These mechanically simple, curvy and cute little cars have become synonymous with generations of free-spirited living - and a good example is still highly clamoured for.
This Beetle has been meticulously restored, with a full bare metal restoration completed in 2015 by a professional garage, costing over £20,000. The car has been garaged and has only covered 500 miles since, ensuring it remains in very good condition.
The two-tone blue and cream colour scheme suits the car down to the ground, with a charming retro milieu that's sure to appeal to any enthusiast. Additionally, the car features a few modern bits and bobs to keep it as practical as a classic can be - including a front brake disc conversion and the fitting of USB sockets to the interior.
