The Volkswagen Beetle officially the Volkswagen Type 1 is an economy car that was built by the German company Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It has a rear-engine design with a two-door body style and is intended for five occupants. Later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries.
This Beautifully restored 1958 VW Beetle Rag Top LHD California Car has been lovingly looked after and owned by a VW Enthusiast since making its way to Australia after his long search. Every corner of this car is in fabulous condition and largely kept totally original throughout … with a few additions like the parcel tray and the Italian Leather steering wheel cover.
The engine starts beautifully and runs like a swiss watch as you can see in the Clips provided.
This is a fantastic opportunity to save yourself a search and maybe even the restoration hassle, just jump right in and enjoy Club runs and weekend breakfast with your family.
Don’t miss it …. all the work is already done for you.
Photos of restoration available on request.
