Volkswagen Beetle 1500 Convertible – A Timeless Classic

This Volkswagen Beetle 1500 Convertible was imported from Germany in 1981 and has had a total of six previous owners. Approximately nine years ago, the car underwent an extensive full restoration, documented with a complete photo album – a significant plus for collectors and enthusiasts.

The odometer shows 7,700 kilometers, but there is no documentation to verify this. The body was repainted during the restoration, and no major work has been performed since. The car is rust-free and is generally in good condition, both exterior and interior.
