AI Listing Summary
This 1971 yellow and white Volkswagen Beetle 1200, with a cream and yellow piped interior, has been with its latest keeper since 2014. However, it has been on SORN for around 5 years, its latest MoT having expired in 2018, so recommissioning may be required.
Condition
6
The car's description indicates that it has been well-loved and has a cream and yellow piped interior, which suggests it has been maintained to some degree. However, there are no receipts available, and the car has been on SORN for around 5 years with its last MoT expiring in 2018. Therefore, recommissioning may be required, suggesting some work is needed to bring it back to full working order. There may be some wear, tear or cosmetic issues arising from it being out of use for so long.
