September 2022 Classics Auction
1972 Volkswagen Beetle 1300
Registration - HMA 813K
Chassis No. - 1122799577
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - TBC
This very smartly presented Beetle was first registered in July 1972, and is understood to have been the subject of a full restoration seven to eight years ago, while in the ownership of a retired mechanic. It is finished in its original colour of Volkswagen Sumatra Green and trimmed in cream leather, and is considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ engine, gearbox, bodywork and upholstery, and ‘good’ paintwork. He is now offering the Volkswagen complete with a comprehensive history file containing invoices dating back to the ‘70s.
The story of the Volkswagen Beetle is like no other. Sixty-six years of production, over 21 million examples manufactured, factories on five continents etc – the statistics are as staggering as the car’s history. In 1933, Hitler ordered Ferdinand Porsche to design and develop a ‘volkswagen’ (a people’s car) that was basic, affordable and capable of transporting two adults and three children at up to 100kph (ie 62mph). It was to be offered to citizens of the Third Reich via a savings scheme. The newcomer finally went into production in 1938 and, while it inevitably evolved over the years (it is said to have benefited from 78,000 incremental changes), the basic concept was never altered – an enduring tribute to the genius of Dr Porsche.
