Description

For sale is my VW 1200 “Jubi” produced in Mexico, first registered on 14 January 1986. The Beetle has been in my possession since March 1998 and has always been kept in a garage.

The vehicle is largely in original condition and has a fine, verifiable history: Before me, the Beetle had only one previous owner and was originally used as a company car at Axel Springer Verlag.

Originality and interior

The Beetle is in largely original condition. The paint is predominantly the original factory paint; the fenders have been repainted.

The original interior is fully preserved and shows age-related signs of use. Among other things, individual plastic parts are damaged, and the headliner has stains and small tears in places. The Jubi symbol characteristic of this special model is present on the gear lever.

Mechanics and extensive work in 2025

Extensive work was carried out in 2025 to preserve the vehicle. Rust spots on the floor pans were professionally cut out, suitable repair panels were fabricated and welded in. The weld seams were then sealed and the corresponding areas were primed.

In addition:

• the braking system was comprehensively renewed, refilled and bled
• the axles were refurbished
• the cavities were preserved with Fluid Film

The Beetle is currently rust-free.

The vehicle has been serviced regularly, including inspections and engine cleaning. The Beetle starts reliably, drives, brakes and shifts perfectly.

After almost three decades in my possession, I would now like to pass the car on to good hands with a heavy heart, as it has hardly been driven at all over the last 6 years.

I would be delighted to find someone who appreciates the originality and history of this special Beetle.

Viewing and test drives are possible by arrangement in Hamburg.
