About this car

A 1957 Volkswagen Beetle with the 1,192cc air-cooled flat-four, the small-engined car that carried the Beetle through its postwar boom. It is a right-hand-drive, manual example finished in Powder Blue with beige trim, a period-appropriate combination.

The dealer reports a nut-and-bolt restoration carried out over the last few years, and describes the car as rust-free. It is to be fully serviced and MOT'd before UK delivery.

The page gives no mileage, registration or ownership history, so those are worth confirming with the dealer.
