Volkswagen Käfer Ostermann Speedster (1971)
Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThis Beetle is a true rarity for purists: an Ostermann conversion with a Speedster look, combined with classic Beetle DNA. The vehicle has been completely repainted, rated a B, and last serviced in July 2025. The black leather interior and fully functional folding roof complete the beautiful overall package. With its H-license plate, this offers a rare opportunity for Volkswagen connoisseurs looking for something special.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Ostermann ist eine ehemalige deutsche Automobilmarke; unter ihr wurden von 1984 bis zumindest 2013 verschiedene Pkw-Modelle entworfen und zeitweilig als Komplett-, überwiegend jedoch als Bausatzfahrzeuge hergestellt und vermarktet. Bis 1989 basierten alle Modelle auf VW-Käfer-Technik, ehe vorübergehend auch Modelle auf Basis frontgetriebener Volkswagen-Pkws hinzukamen; 1993 ergänzte ein Cabriolet auf Basis des ursprünglich in der DDR gebauten Trabant das Angebot. Die Produktionszahlen lagen insgesamt mindestens im vierstelligen Bereich.
