Presented in a charming light blue with matching blue interior, this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle offers a delightful blend of period character and usable classic motoring. The car is described by the vendor as the subject of an older restoration, now mellowed with time, and is accompanied by a photo album documenting the work carried out – a reassuring addition for any prospective owner.
According to the HPI report, the Beetle has had just one previous UK keeper, with the most recent custodian having owned and enjoyed the car in Ireland for over ten years. It now shows an indicated 71,000 miles and presents as a nicely preserved, lightly personalised example, sitting on attractive period-style alloy wheels and retaining its simple, honest cabin ambience.
Under the rear engine lid lies the familiar air-cooled flat-four, here in 1300 guise, offering the straightforward mechanicals, distinctive soundtrack and laid-back driving experience that have endeared the Beetle to generations of enthusiasts. With MOT exemption, classic status and a wealth of parts and club support, it represents an appealing entry into classic VW ownership.
Offered without reserve, this Beetle should tempt anyone seeking a cheerful, characterful classic that can be enjoyed and improved as desired.
