DESCRIPTION

Offered here is a beautifully restored 1960 Volkswagen Beetle in homage to the 1968 Walt Disney film, The Love Bug, in which a Beetle by the name of Herbie was the star.

Our vendor believes that the car was brought into the UK from Sweden around 2002, and he purchased the car in 2014 with a view to restoring it. The body was removed from the chassis and both were blasted and repainted before being put back together again.

A new interior including; new seats, carpets and headlining were fitted to complete the look of the car. A 1500cc engine was rebuilt and fitted, along with new brakes all round and a new wiring. This car also features a desirable Golde sunroof, making this Herbie lookalike even more special.

Complete with a VW "birth certificate', a history file full of bills, a UK V5c and a MoT, this car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
