The Volkswagen Beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world. During the 1950's, the car was modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned the rear windows. Towards the end of 1964, the height of the side windows and windscreen grew slightly, giving the cabin a less pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very slightly curved 'panoramic' windscreen. The same body appeared throughout 1966, with a 1300cc engine in place of the 1200cc engine; it was only in the 1973 model Super Beetle that it displayed an obviously curved windscreen. It has been regarded as something of a 'cult' car since its 1960's association with the hippie movement and surf culture.

First registered on 8th January 1965, this example of the 60's Beetle was imported from Sweeden, a left hand drive example presented in blue it has the 1200cc engine and is a perfect summer foil for budding classic car enthusiasts or indeed Beetle fans. We are informed this is a number matching example which is confirmed by the Volkswagen Heritage Certificate and by auction it will be fully UK registered. Offered without reserve, viewing is recommended in order to not miss out. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
