Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichWhat a beautiful exterior color on this Beetle convertible! This classic has been meticulously restored; among other things, the engine has been overhauled and the paintwork completely redone. Its excellent condition is also confirmed by an appraisal from 2017 that valued it at €27,500. This is the perfect opportunity to acquire a truly attractive Beetle.
