SUMMARY

UK-supplied 1300 Deluxe, beautifully presented, one family owned from new until recently and less than 26,000 miles. A time capsule.

DESCRIPTION

Remarkable, just one former registered keeper and indicating 25,979 miles
Supplied new by Robinsons of Norwich, main Volkswagen agent and first registered 01/03/1969
Finished in Chinchilla Grey, a rare colour even in period
With its original owners for many years until very recently and stored in his heated garage for 38-years
Judging by its current condition, it's been treated as a member of the family for all that time
Service history going back to 1980, old tax discs, original spare key and an original Motorists First Aid Kit
Our vendor describes it as 'starts perfectly, runs lovely and sounds excellent with no rattles whatsoever'
This is a rare find and worth coming to Stoneleigh for a closer look
