Description

This beautiful Volkswagen Beetle Convertible (known as a Cabriolet in Europe) was sold new in the USA. The car was imported into the Netherlands in June 2011 and was purchased by the current owner in May 2017.

Maintenance

This original Karmann Cabriolet has been well maintained over the years. An overhauled 1303 engine was fitted, the bodywork was repainted in 2020, a new mohair hood was professionally installed in 2021, and the fuel injection system was replaced with a carburettor set-up in 2023. All work was carried out by specialists.

The owner and his family have enjoyed the car on many tours and weekend drives.
