Description

This is a rare and genuine Volkswagen Beetle 1600 Twin Port, featuring the factory-fitted ragtop just like the famous Herbie from the classic film The Love Bug.

Originally purchased in 1976 by a family in Scarborough when it was just six years old, this car has been cherished and meticulously maintained for the past 48 years. It comes with an extensive history, including two detailed files containing every invoice and record of work carried out.

The original 1970 Volkswagen service book, fully stamped each year, is also included, making this a truly unique find.

Finished in timeless Pastel White with a black ragtop and upgraded alloy wheels, this Beetle sits beautifully on the road and attracts attention wherever it goes. It has been carefully restored over the years, ensuring it remains a fantastic example of this classic model. It is extremely rare to find a car with such a well-documented history. The level of detail in its paperwork is remarkable, making it a true one-off.

A major upgrade was carried out in 1993 when a new VEGE 1600 engine, with an AD Code producing 50 horsepower, was fitted. The invoice for this work is included in the history file. Since then, the car has covered just 57,000 miles over the past 32 years.

The engine starts effortlessly and runs perfectly on unleaded petrol, making it a practical classic that can be used daily. It is also ULEZ exempt, making it even more convenient for modern driving.

With its upgraded engine, this Beetle cruises beautifully along country roads, making it the perfect companion for summer drives.

The car is rust-free and solid throughout, with a lovely interior that includes the original dashboard.

The chrome is in excellent condition, the upgraded seats provide extra comfort, and the alloy wheels enhance both the look and performance.

This is a truly rare classic in great condition for a 55 year old car, regularly used and maintained to a high standard. As a historic vehicle, it benefits from free road tax and is exempt from ULEZ charges.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a factory ragtop Beetle with an exceptional history. Cars like this are incredibly hard to find, and this example is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
