1973 VW Beetle 1303 S

Originally designed as effective transport for the German masses, the Beetle emerged as an automotive success story after the Second World War, becoming popular throughout Europe, America and the rest of the world. As time went on, the car was improved and developed with no less than 70,000 identifiable modifications during its production run, which encompassed over 15 million vehicles globally. The Disney film 'The Love Bug' immortalised the car as an icon in the minds of many.

This 1303 S is indded an original UK right hand drive car, lovingly maintained from new and painted in the iconic 'Herbie' body colour of pearl white with a black interior. Recently thoroughly restored and the beneficiary of an engine rebuild, the history file confirms all of the works done and also includes a factory heritage certificate for the car. Including the bodywork, paintwork, engine work and detail trim items, the recent bills add up to over £8,000 pounds, making the car extremely good value in this price guide today. The no Advisory M.O.T runs until July 2014 and the accompanying VW Heritage Certificate in the file confirms eligibility for free historic road TAX from January 2014. This lovely Beetle is complete with period alloy wheels and is ready to be immediately enjoyed.
