SUMMARY

Offered in 'as-new' condition, this final-production 'Ultima Edition' has covered just 685km from new.

DESCRIPTION

Introduced in June 2003, the Volkswagen Sedán Última Edición was distributed to VW dealers across Mexico. Limited to 2,999 examples, they were offered in just two colours, Aquarius Blue (Baby) or Harvest Moon (Beige) and were the final incarnation of the world's most beloved car. Ultimately, having been around for over 50 years, the Beetle's time had come with demand having dried up but, as is the way of things, the last few cars out of Mexico became the subject of 'bidding wars' with one purportedly offered for $1,000,000. Fittingly, the last ever car was destined for the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg.

Displaying just 685km, this example found its way to the UK and has been in a private UK collection ever since. It's presented in the original factory Harvest Moon coachwork with Ultima Edition badging and contrasting grey cloth interior. Special features of this final edition include 165/80 R 15 whitewall radial tyres, 5J × 15 body-coloured stamped steel wheels, AM/FM stereo CD player with four speakers and chromed aerial, a special commemorative plaque on the glove box cover and an emblem with the Coat of Arms of the City of Wolfsburg on the bonnet lid.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of those final 2,999 Beetles and, in this condition and this mileage, it's probably the best example available. When you consider that it's on offer at 'No Reserve' this seems like an unrepeatable proposition.
