Description

Due to my age, I am reluctantly selling my Beetle, which I have owned continuously since 2005.

It has historic vehicle registration (H-plates) and a retrofitted catalytic converter by one of the previous owners.

I would rate its condition as 2-3. It's completely original, including the radio (a Blaupunkt Essen 21 from late 1979/early 1980). The soft top is still original, completely watertight, and without any holes. The only modification I made was an electric windshield washer pump.

Due to its age, some minor welding repairs have been carried out.

It has ATS wheels, 185 tires (registered), and the period-correct RAID steering wheel. It also has Cibie auxiliary headlights painted to match the car.

Over the years, I have installed various new parts; documentation is available.

I only drove the car in the summer (registered from April to October) and never in the rain.
