Volkswagen Maggiolino 1200 Saxomat 6V – 1965 Conserved, almost entirely in its original paint, ASI Gold Plate Overview Proposed in exceptional preservation conditions, this authentic Volkswagen Maggiolino 1200 6 Volt in the very rare Saxomat semi-automatic version represents one of the most sought-after and difficult-to-find variants for brand enthusiasts. The car was built on June 14, 1965 and registered on July 23, 1965. Until 1969 it remained at the official Volkswagen dealership in Gorizia as a demonstrator vehicle, after which it was sold to a single owner who has safeguarded it with extraordinary care for over fifty years. The Saxomat system, today little known even among Volkswagen specialists, makes this specimen particularly rare. Its high degree of originality, the near-total first-assembly paint, and the truly remarkable state of conservation further enhance its value. Condition The interior is completely original and well preserved, as is the mileage of 93,323 km, considered authentic. As is natural for a car over sixty years old, there are slight signs of time that attest to its originality and enhance its charm, without compromising overall quality. The car comes with Italian plates and documents ready for ownership transfer and is regularly registered with ASI with: - Historical Relevance Certificate; - ASI Identity Certificate; - Gold Plate Certification. Maintenance After being properly halted at the end of the 1990s, the car was put back on the road in December 2023, following careful routine maintenance including: - replacement of the brake pump and front and rear wheel cylinders; - replacement of the front and rear brake lines; - carburetor cleaning; - replacement of all fuel hoses; - internal tank treatment with Tankerite; - replacement of spark plugs; - replacement of engine oil; - replacement of gearbox oil; - replacement of the battery; - replacement of the front hub nuts with corresponding washers; - professional bodywork polishing. There are some paint touch-ups carried out over the years on small areas of the body, as documented in the photographs. Originality and Equipment The electrical system is fully functional, as is the entire mechanics. The car is ready to be used and to tackle any journey. Accompanying the car: - original owner’s and maintenance manual; - original supplement dedicated to the Saxomat system; - original Volkswagen-branded glass; - first assembly keys and locks. Considerations Finding a Saxomat Maggiolino today is extremely difficult in itself. Sourcing one with such well-documented history, a single private owner, nearly all in original paint, ASI Gold Plate certification, and such a high level of originality represents an opportunity for the most demanding collectors and Volkswagen enthusiasts. Additional Information The car is viewable in Reggio Calabria, Italy. Transfer costs (or demolition costs for export purposes) and shipping are the buyer’s responsibility. Upon request, vehicle transport can be arranged across Italy and the rest of the world, by agreement.
