The Beetle

it runs... and runs... and runs...

The Beetle has delighted millions of people for over half a century and has undergone various transformations in its more than 50 years of production.

Its popularity is mainly based on its simple simplicity and reliability.

History

The first owner bought the car in Munich in 1963 (see new car invoice) via MAHAG and only sold it to the second owner after almost 30 years in March 1992.

This owner sold it to the current owner around 25 years later. The current owner was a car dealer and classic car collector. He never had the car registered and moved it regularly with "red" dealer license plates. As a result, there is no "newer" vehicle registration document / vehicle registration certificate and therefore only 2 owners are entered in the registration document.

The Beetle shows a great deal of authentic originality and must have been cared for and loved all its life. The interior is beautifully authentic and the paint thickness measurement showed mostly values of a first paint job. A closer look at the paintwork shows it to be beautifully authentic and not polished.

Technically, there are no defects in the bodywork, steering, chassis or engine... It runs... and runs...

Since it was last moved in the summer of 2023, resuscitation work such as brake fluid changes, oil changes and lubrication work before the first start makes sense.

The Beetle is not registered but should pass the test for an H license plate as a classic car without discussion; visually and technically.

Market classification

Prices for Beetles have to some extent exploded in the last 20 years, but have also normalized again. Especially in the case of the so-called "Bastelkäfer". Authentic vehicles with a high degree of originality have always remained very stable in value.

Conclusion

This Beetle is one of those cars that have not been tinkered with and is very authentic with a great deal of originality. A great contemporary witness, time capsule or whatever you want to call it, from the years of the economic miracle.

Take the chance and place your bid for this never customized, but always welcome automotive cultural asset.
