HIGHLIGHTS: • Original Volkswagen Beetle 1200 Cabriolet (Type 15) delivered in America from 1962 • Longstanding Dutch history since 1973 and equipped with an active Dutch registration • Powered by the characteristic 1200 cc air-cooled boxer engine (34 hp) • Professionally replaced convertible top and extensive maintenance history with recent invoices HISTORY & OVERVIEW: The Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet (Type 15), developed in collaboration with coachbuilder Karmann in Osnabrück, is considered one of the most beloved and iconic open-classics in the world. With its characteristic air-cooled boxer engine at the rear and timeless design, the Beetle guarantees a unique driving experience. This specific example concerns an early Beetle 1200 Cabriolet from the 1962 model year. The car was newly delivered in the United States and was imported to the Netherlands in 1973, where it has resided for more than fifty years. The car has been restored in the Netherlands in the past and has undergone mechanical maintenance in recent years for thousands of euros. EXTERIOR: The bodywork is in a neatly maintained condition with nice paint that presents well. As a classic vehicle, the paint shows light, age-related wear and patina. The professionally finished cabriolet top has been renewed in the past and is in very good condition. INTERIOR: The interior is in a neat and well-kept condition. The cabin exudes an authentic atmosphere that nicely matches the character of a Beetle from the early sixties. ENGINE & TECHNOLOGY: Driven by the well-known 1200 cc air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine with a power of 34 hp. The engine starts perfectly and the car runs, brakes, and shifts very well. In recent years substantial investment has been made in mechanical maintenance and several components have been renewed. DOCUMENTS: The vehicle has a Dutch license plate and is supplied with accompanying invoices for the recent technical maintenance work as well as photo documentation of the replacement of the convertible top. When selling abroad, the necessary export documents can be arranged. The vehicle can be viewed and collected. Offers are exclusive of transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership and any export documents/COC costs are borne by the buyer.
