Based on the description, the car is in remarkable 'time warp' condition, covered in its factory-applied protective wax coating, and has only 18 kilometers on the odometer. It has been in the same family's possession from new and has never been registered. This suggests minimal use and excellent preservation, consistent with a pristine or near-pristine condition.

• Remarkable 'time warp' condition • Single family ownership from new • Gifted by Volkswagen to the vendor • Offered without any registration document Numerous derivatives were spawned over the course of the Beetle's lifetime, the longest enduring being the Cabriolet.

A single prototype was built pre-war but it was not until 1949 that production proper commenced, the bulk of which was entrusted to Karmann of Osnabrück.

whose four-seater Cabriolet appeared soon after Hebmüller's two-seater version.

Only Karmann's would stand the test of time, outliving the saloon and remaining ever fashionable, an instantly recognisable motoring icon to this day.

Its odometer reading only 18 kilometres, this remarkable 'time warp' Cabriolet is still covered in its factory-applied protective wax coating.

Gifted by Volkswagen to our vendor, the car has remained in the same family's possession from new and has never been registered.
