Description
RHD 1973
Volkswagen single port 1200 Beetle; service book containing 17 service stamps;
Currently owned for the last 4 years; Original look with retro accessories
Manufactured in 1973, the car is believed
to have been shipped abroad for three years before returning to the UK in March
1976.
It has had 11 owners in total, with the
current keeper purchasing it in September 2021.
Included are all the original handbooks, along with a service book
containing 17 service stamps. There is also a substantial collection of receipts
and invoices dating back to 1975, detailing various work carried out over the
years.
The car appears to have undergone a major
restoration at some point, as evidenced by the excellent condition of the
paintwork. While no paperwork has been found to confirm this, the quality speaks
for itself. We have also taken a few photos of the underside, which looks solid,
though without a ramp we cannot verify this fully.
A discreetly installed radio in the glovebox and neatly hidden
speakers give the car a classic appearance with a modern touch. It also benefits
from a retro-style roof rack and a quick-shift EMPI gear lever, which provides a
more positive gear change.
Having been driven
over 30 miles to us and performing well during the photo and video
session—starting, running, and driving without issue—this charming little Beetle
is ready for daily use or new adventures with its next
owner.
