AI Listing Summary
This 1949 Volkswagen Beetle is a desirable split-window, right-hand-drive example with a recent black repaint and a roof rack. While it features a replacement 1,131cc engine and a four-speed manual, the listing notes paint flaws and inaccurate mileage, suggesting some reconditioning may be needed.

The car has been repainted black about a decade ago and the seller notes various paint flaws. The mileage is also stated as not accurate, and the total mileage is unknown.
