SUMMARY

The ubiquitous Beetle from 49 years as part of one family.

DESCRIPTION

  • Charismatic little flat-screen, metal dash, MacPherson strut, 44bhp Beetle
  • UK-supplied finished in Clementine Orange with charcoal and black interior
  • Purchased by Peter Hawkes in 1971 and remained with him and his family ever since
  • Garaged for the majority of this time explaining the brightness of the paintwork
  • Original service book, owners manual and radio handbook, with service invoices back to 1974
  • Wouldn't take much to bring it up to the next level
This brightly coloured, Type 2 1300 Beetle dates from 1970 and was UK-supplied in right-hand drive and it's finished in what was called Clementine. It was purchased new in 1971 by Peter Hawkes after he was made redundant from his job at Whitbreads in Tottenham. He had the option of moving out of London and relocating but, being a true Londoner, he decided to take the redundancy money, find another job and buy a Beetle, which is exactly what he did. Then along came
