The seller offers for sale a 1982 Volkswagen Beetle, a classic example of the iconic Beetle. This car has remained in the Netherlands since its production and is currently with its second owner. Approximately eight years ago, it was resprayed in its original Mexico Beige color, and the paintwork remains well-presented. The vehicle has been stored under cover, contributing to its overall preservation.
The Beetle is powered by its original 1200cc four-cylinder engine. The car is currently MOT-approved until June 2025, with the option to receive a new inspection upon sale. The odometer shows 32,882 km, though it is expected to have rolled over once.
The exterior remains clean with small signs of use. The paintwork, though not recent, has held up well. The interior is in used original condition, showing wear consistent with its age. The headliner remains intact. The dashboard instruments and lighting function properly.
The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most recognizable cars in automotive history. Originally designed in the 1930s by Ferdinand Porsche under a commission from the German government, it became a symbol of affordable and practical transportation. Following World War II, the Beetle’s production ramped up, and by the 1960s and 1970s, it had become one of the best-selling cars worldwide.
By 1982, Volkswagen had shifted its focus toward more modern front-engine designs like the Golf, but the Beetle remained in production in select markets. These later models retained the classic shape but featured small refinements for improved reliability and usability. Today, the Beetle continues to enjoy a dedicated following, with well-preserved examples like this sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
