"The car runs and looks good; there are some signs of use but nothing major. The driver's seat has some improvements and is a little worn under the seat cover. We estimate that car has travelled just over 200,000km."

Description

Based on the information provided by the owner, this car is described at a distance.
The car is in good condition, according to the owner. In its first 15-20 years, it was used as a daily driver. The meter is currently at 14131 km, but we estimate that it has gone around, resulting in a total distance of 214131 km. The car's most recent owner (from 2008) has only used it as a summer car on the small roads around southern stergötland.
In connection with the first inspection following the purchase, the owner chose to repair the rust damage that was present; it was done by a knowledgeable person and has held up very well.
According to previous owners' information, the car was only driven in Norrland for the first 20 years.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The owner has performed an annual service and has received assistance from a mechanic to repair minor issues that are required for the car to be roadworthy. The brake values were improved during the last inspection and received fully approval, as stated in the inspection protocol.

  • Interior condition

    Two years ago, the owner purchased new seat covers from the VW Historical Club to protect the driver's upholstery, which was a little worn but still perfectly fine. According to the owner, all instruments are operational. The car radio was missing when it was purchased in 2008, and the owner has chosen not to replace it.

  • Exterior condition

    The owner keeps it in a garage during the winter and has it covered during the summer. The paint on some parts of the car is dull, but it is otherwise in good condition. In connection with the rust improvement in 2009, the owner repaired an old bodywork damage on one of the front wing, and the wing was then painted in the original color Sumatragrön. The rubber strips around the windows are original and have dried in places. A polishing and waxing would suffice.

  • General condition

    Throughout the years that the current owner has owned the car, he has prioritized road safety. Annual service, oil changes, and minor repairs to keep the car in good driving condition. The last seven inspections have gone off without a hitch, and the car has been approved in its entirety. It appears to be a receipt indicating that the owner had a good mechanic who assisted with car maintenance. Waxing and polishing can improve the appearance. It's a fun car to care for and drive.

Facts about the model

1303 var den finaste Bubbla modellen och den sista som byggdes i Tyskland (1973 till 1975). Den var toppen på utvecklingen sedan 1937 och 25 miljoner byggda bilar. Idag uppskattas den för det är den mest pigga, säkra och komfortabla Bubblan. En riktigt trevlig samlar och hobbybil som funkar som dagligt fordon på sommaren.
