Overall condition
The car retains a clear and coherent original configuration. The body is straight, with an older paint finish showing a consistent and natural patina. It has not been over-restored and presents as a genuine, well-balanced example. Panel fit and exterior trim are correct and complete.
Interior
The interior is complete and well matched, with upholstery and trim consistent with the period. Wear is in line with age and use. Dashboard, instruments and controls remain original and functional.
Mechanical
The engine runs well and starts reliably both cold and warm. There are no known mechanical issues in normal use.
Routine maintenance has been carried out with an emphasis on reliability and regular driving, without performance modifications.
The engine bay is complete, tidy and in keeping with the original 1300 specification.
Positioning
This Beetle is well suited to an enthusiast looking for an honest, usable classic, either for regular enjoyment or as part of an originality-focused collection rather than a concours restoration.
