1957 Volkswagen Beetle

The Beetle is a two door, rear-engine economy car, designed to take five occupants. It was manufactured by Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. It is officially known as the Volkswagen Type 1. Informally and affectionately, it is known all over the world as the Bug. With 21 529 464 cars built the Beetle is the longest running and most manufactured car of a single platform ever made!

This specific car is a 1957 Beetle, the last year of the oval window cars. The car is completely original with the original engine, gearbox and body. This Beetle is still running a 6-volt system, and everything works perfectly, including the famous “pop out” or Semaphore turn signals. The original engine has been retained and runs like a dream. This car needs to be restored or can be enjoyed as is, with all the patina, character and charm of a 70 year old car!  A truly beautiful classic Beetle that can very easily be used as an everyday commute, easy to drive and inexpensive to maintain.
