For sale is an exceptionally well-preserved and largely original 1959 VW Beetle.
The Beetle has been in the family for decades and has spent its entire life in the south of Portugal. As a result, it has never been exposed to snow, ice or road salt.
The car has always been kept in a garage and remains today in its original, unrestored and unmodified condition.

Old Portuguese vehicle documents are available, which allow the vehicle’s history to be traced.
The original owner was a great-aunt of my wife. The vehicle subsequently remained within the family.
The car has always been well looked after and is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate originality and patina. Vehicles of this quality and with this history are now rarely found on the market.
I will organise the transport of the car from Portugal to Germany and will also cover the costs.
