Volkswagen - Beetle "Oval" 1600 - 1955

Volkswagen - Beetle "Oval" 1600 - 1955

Strengths: • Original 1955 Oval Beetle body shell • Custom upholstery integrating Porsche seats • 1600 cm³ engine revised by a professional • Electrical circuit completely rebuilt in 2023 HISTORY/PRESENTATION: The Volkswagen Beetle is an iconic symbol in automotive history. The model presented combines a sought-after 1955 Oval body with a newer chassis dating from 1975. This configuration allows benefiting from the classic aesthetics of the 1950s while relying on a later technical base. The vehicle is registered in France and shows 90,000 km on the odometer. EXTERIOR: The bodywork is finished in a light cream/beige color. It retains its distinctive oval rear window as well as its period taillights. The chrome bumpers equipped with bumper guards are in good overall presentation condition. The overall paint offers a pleasing aesthetic with a clean finish. INTERIOR: The cabin underwent a bespoke customization completed in 2023, featuring two-tone upholstery in brown faux leather and beige quilted fabric with diamond patterns. The front seats are from Porsche. The dashboard features a three-spoke chrome wooden steering wheel, a central instrument cluster, and a discreetly integrated Bluetooth radio. All door trims match the upholstery. The electrical installation was completely redone by a professional in 2023. MECHANICS: This Beetle is equipped with a 1.6 L (1600 cm³) VW flat-four engine. The mechanicals have been serviced by a professional in preparation for sale. DOCUMENTS: French registration. It is advised to come view the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment. To arrange a viewing, please contact Catawiki. The vehicle can be seen and picked up in France (Nord). The buyer is encouraged to verify the alignment of parts and technical specifications according to local regulations. Transportation, shipping costs, transfer of ownership, or export/COC arrangements remain the buyer’s responsibility.
