Vehicle description
Model history:
At the end of the 1950s, the VW Beetle already looked back on an existence that led to two generation changes in other models. Not so with the Type 1, which was stoically built over all decades with crank arm front axle and swing rear axle, apart from the Beetles 1302 and 1303. All assemblies were subjected to cosmetic changes, usually several times, the engine power grew from 30 to 34 to 50 hp. The 1302/1303 models were followed in 1974 by the VW 1200 (L), which were produced until 1985. In 1955, Volkswagen celebrated one million Beetles, while worldwide Beetle production did not end until 2003 with over 21.5 million vehicles built.

So the bumper was also painted over in body color. As a small paint damage, the current owner indicates a quirk in the left rear fender, otherwise the seller attests to the car in good condition.
Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:
As tires are Kumho tires on the vehicle - these have a condition of 30-50% after consultation with the current owner of the vehicle. Golden rims fit very well into the overall picture of this VW Beetle (Special Bug). The seller attests 70-90% condition assessment of the brakes.
Interior:
Bulkhead fabric seats in a pattern matching the colour of the Beetle can be found in the interior. In addition to the 4-spoke steering wheel, the JVC accessory radio - which delivers good sound via Blaupunkt speakers - should also be mentioned as an equipment feature.
