Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

This 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.
