Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 VW Beetle is presented in good condition, having undergone a body restoration in 2019 and featuring a well-maintained interior. While mechanically sound with a strong running engine and gearbox, a few minor issues like a non-working driver's seatbelt and wiper need attention before auction end.
Condition
7
The car underwent a body restoration in 2019 and presents well with no obvious blemishes, dings, or dents. The interior seats have been retrimmed and the carpets replaced, both in excellent condition. However, there is a slight stain on the passenger seat, and the driver's seat belt and one wiper are not currently working, requiring minor attention. The heat exchange system's functionality is also uncertain.

Description
Who would have thought one affordable, simple car would become one of the most legendary vehicles ever produced?
Fitted with the original steel wheels, these are finished in body colour and are in excellent condition.
They are topped off with a set of chrome VW hubcaps, which are also in excellent condition.
The tyres are a matching set with a whitewall stripe, and all have plenty of tread remaining.
Please take the time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels and tyres, so you can make your own assessment of their condition.
Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn or over 10 years old.
The Beetle received a body restoration around 2019, before it was used as a wedding car.
The doors have a visually equal gap, all the panels appear to align correctly, and no dings or dents were spotted.
