1974 Volkswagen Beetle Custom

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 on Saturday, May 16th, at Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN.

In one form or another, Volkswagen's venerable Beetle was produced until 2003, resulting in a production run that spanned 65 years. The striking example presented here was first registered on March 14, 1974, and is finished in a custom mixture of Candy Purple paint and decals, with Porsche-style Fuchs wheels to match.

The car was won by the consigning owner in a competition in October 2022 and has been used occasionally on better weather days. The interior has been customized with Recaro bucket seats, a pistol grip gear knob, electric windows, and an uprated sound system.

During the rebuild, a more powerful 1,776cc engine was fitted, further uprated with Engle camshafts. This presents an interesting opportunity for those looking for a seriously cool Beetle, ready for classic drives and shows alike.
