Vehicle Description
This is a fully documented European-delivery Type 1 Bug with a
1500cc engine and manual transmission. Every piece of paperwork
from day one way back in 1959 - the day the original owner put a
deposit down on the car - up until he sold it in 1999, is included.
The documentation and receipts are amazing; even a Volkswagen
Museum Birth Certificate of Authenticity is included. Purchased new
in Augsburg, Germany, at Edgar Meyer VW, the first owner took
delivery in Europe. Currently on its third owner, the car has
112,000 original miles. In 1981, at 95,000 miles, a new crate
1500cc engine was installed (the correct 36hp engine for this car
is included with the sale). Equipped with a VW roof rack and a fuel
gauge installed in the early 1960s, the car has receipts to back it
all up. The documentation on this Type I includes stacks of
paperwork, receipts, original book, maintenance records and other
import paperwork. It had one exterior-only high-quality refinish in
2001. The interior paint is original and outstanding. Featuring an
uncut dash, original working Blaupunkt radio, original mohair
headliner and 1960-only grooved visors and great original dash
trim. It has a no-rust excellent original pan with no patches or
repairs. The dealer installed a 6-volt heater blower motor around
1966. All the lights work and a restored set of vintage 6-volt fog
lights were installed. The car has all original sheet metal,
original spare tire and tools, front and rear aprons, original
Continental spare tire, jack and tools, and original trunk
cardboard as well. It has been slightly lowered and has drop
spindles, but the original spindles go with car, as do the original
wheels and hubcaps, steering wheel, correct 36hp engine, all books,
records, history and documentation. It recently got new front
tires. This car has been a show car for a few years.
