"A well-functioning Type 1 convertible. It needs to be inspected after being stored for an extended period of time. We did not find any significant issues, only some cosmetic ones. It's up to the new owner to determine the level of improvements desired. Addressing the damage on the right door would be a good starting point."

Description

This convertible was registered in Sweden in 1979. Originally, it was green, but at some point over the years, it was repainted in red. It has had 12 registered owners, and the current owner has had the car since 2013. The last approved inspection was in 2015, and since 2017, the car has been off the road and stored in a heated garage. The current odometer reading is 5,609 Swedish miles. As the odometer resets to zero after 10,000 miles, the exact mileage is unknown. However, it is likely that it has gone through at least one full rotation.

The original instruction manual is missing, but a spare wheel and the original jack are included. The car will need a final inspection from the vehicle inspection authority (Bilprovningen) before it can be put back into use. After that, it will be exempt from regular inspections according to the vintage vehicle regulations.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A replacement engine from 1968 has been installed, which is a 1.2-liter with 34 horsepower. It starts quickly and runs well. It tends to receive a slightly excessive amount of fuel before the automatic choke fully disengages. Overall, the technical functions are working normally. A recent startup service and general inspection have been performed since the car was stored for some time. The car has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system and equipped with a robust 55-amp generator. The exhaust muffler has been modified from two tailpipes to a single tailpipe, as shown in the picture.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is complete and in good condition. The car is equipped with three-point seat belts both in the front and rear for increased safety.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has an older repaint that is slightly worn but still gives a good overall impression. The paint on the right door mirror has cracked a bit, indicating an older repair that has aged over time. Please refer to the attached picture. The convertible top is in good condition and operates smoothly when opening and closing.

    The chrome parts are in good usable condition and have a shiny appearance. The car is equipped with white removable tire sidewalls. There are signs of older sheet metal repairs in the wheel arches and around the spare wheel well, as shown in the pictures. Some cover plates are missing near the spare wheel well, but this is a simple issue to address.

  • General condition:

    The Volkswagen cabriolet is in good used condition. There are only a few minor cosmetic remarks, but overall, it gives a good impression.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
