1955 | Volkswagen Beetle 1200 Standard "Oval"

Transmission: 4 gears, Manual gearbox
Interior colour: beige
Registration number: AR-16-40

We are pleased to present this beautifully fully body-off restored Volkswagen Beetle Oval type 1/11 from April 1955, which was delivered new in Sweden. This particular car has been sympathetically restored, in keeping with its origins. The black paintwork looks beautiful. The beautiful bodywork has beautifully thin and correctly aligned sheet metal.
Naturally equipped with the correct historic rims and the correct size tires. All light work is in beautiful condition. The oval rear window and more horizontally placed headlights characterize this car, hence the name “Oval” Beetle.
This car also benefits from a number of upgrades that Volkswagen has introduced in recent years. The transmission has synchronized rings on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears and the drum brakes are all hydraulically upgraded. The engine and gearbox have been completely rebuilt and are in perfect condition.
The smooth-running matching 4-cylinder boxer engine with double carburettors has been completely overhauled and emits that typical Beetle sound through its stainless steel exhaust. The operation of the gearbox is precise and smooth. The chassis and underbody are in absolutely new condition, unbelievable!
To finish this story we have to visit the fantastic interior of the car.
During the restoration, the interior upholstery was partly replaced, all carpets and the front seats were reupholstered, as was the headliner, and this was done in a very sympathetic manner, in keeping with the origin of the car and to a high standard. This Beetle looks like it just rolled off the production line. In short, no effort has been spared to get a fantastically restored Volkswagen Beetle Oval type 1/11 in this top condition, which is supplied with its original maintenance and instruction booklet and where the appraisal report concludes with excellent!
