The Bolesworth Castle May 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1971 VW Beetle
***NO RESERVE*** Comprehensive history file including original service booklet
Registration - UAR 568J
Chassis No. - 1112468028
M.O.T. - TBC
Odometer - 0580
This clean and cute 1971 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 has clearly been cared for. In the same ownership for the past seven years, it enjoyed an extensive engine rebuild, a gearbox rebuild, new starter motor and brakes in 2018. They are all described as being in 'good' condition – and the vendor adds the car hasn’t really been used since then. Impressively, it comes with the original service book, a period logbook, invoices totalling £5000 and a hand-written notebook detailing work that’s been carried out. It also has an Avon wallet that contains all the invoices. Sensitively lowered and sitting on eight-spoke alloy wheels, this beige Beetle has a great stance, while the bodywork, paintwork and black vinyl interior are all said to be 'average'. For those seeking a great Volkswagen starter classic from the 1970s, it is a tempting choice.
Of course, the Volkswagen Beetle needs no introduction. Designed before WWII, production was restarted by the Allies, and it quickly developed into an export sensation. Brilliant advertising and marketing in America during the 1960s saw it become particularly popular, and this cool, friendly image helped the Beetle endure for many decades. Today, an entire community thrives around it, and running a classic Beetle is both affordable and straightforward. As they say, once you’ve got the bug…
In summary:
· Affordable starter classic
· Engine and gearbox benefitted from a major overhaul in 2018
· Attractive car outside and in that’s elegant and pure
