DESCRIPTION
Offered here today is a genuine left-hand drive VW Karmann Beetle 1500 finished in red with white interior. Recently imported from California, the odometer shows only 22,000 miles, testament to its single ownership. The dry and hot conditions on the West Coast of the States lend themselves to the preservation of classic cars and as such, this Beetle is described to us as completely rust free.
Since being imported to the UK the car has been stored in a dry garage and the engine has been rebuilt. The interior is entirely original and is presented in good condition. The soft top has recently been replaced with a double insulated one, making those winter mornings slightly warmer!
Within the history file is the US certificate stating the previous owner and mileage dated 4th April 2012 at which point the car had covered 16,307 miles. Purposely not registered in the UK as of yet, incase the next owner decides to export again, this car is sold with UK customs clearance and UK duties paid. The history file also contain the V55 form and an MoT until 30th June 2015.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully unrestored original car with low mileage. We challenge you to find another in this condition!
