Few cars are as famous as the Volkswagen Beetle. Originally the design was made as early as the late 1930s, but due to the intervention of World War II, it took until the second half of the 1940s for the production of "civilian cars" to get underway.The Beetle it began with was the "goggle beetle," a glance at the rear window will no longer leave anyone in the dark as to why that nickname was chosen.The stunning "goggle beetle" we offer here dates from 1951. So that makes it a Beetle from the early years, even beforeóór that Volkswagen knew it would become one of the greatest icons in automotive history. The Beetle is moody gray with upholstery from the right era. There is no lack of clarity in the VW's cabin: a large steering wheel with three thin spokes does not obstruct your view of the single meter that indicates speed. Furthermore, your attention is not distracted by countless gauges, buttons or superfluous luxuries: look at the simplicity of the door panels, with only a lever to open the window and one to open the door. No armrests, buttons or air vents: austerity at its best and that is precisely why it is so charming today.Back to the bodywork: it too is simple. The timeless lines have actually never gone out of fashion. Even when in 1974 the extremely square Golf came on the market as its successor, the Beetle was never pushed aside. Everyone could and does appreciate the Beetle in one way or another. This version, with its small rear lights, double rear window, minimal use of chrome and bumpers in body color is quite unique.The owner from whom we took over the Beetle has owned the car for a very long time. A true Volkswagen enthusiast, and it shows on the car.

A beautiful condition, after a skilled restoration in the past. The gray paintwork is in top condition, the sheet metal and fits very well. The upholstery in very fresh and all the controls in nice condition. It will not sound like a surprise that the technique has been completely overhauled and restored, it is beautiful to see and great functioning.Exterior, interior and technique have thus all been thoroughly taken care of, resulting in this time capsule.Time capsule, by the way, does not mean fast travel: with this Beetle it is relaxing first class. The delightfully typical plopping four-cylinder air-cooled boxer with 1,131 cc capacity produces 25 hp. Thanks to the low weight (about 725 kilograms) and the extremely good streamline for that time, the car still manages to reach about 100 kilometers per hour with this. But in a hurry? No, this car was never built for that.Are you looking for a car to enjoy your region? To explore the country at your own pace or visit a neighboring country?
