1969 Classic VW Beetle | 1.6 Engine | 54,000 Miles | Updated | Iconic & Fun

Description

If you’re looking for a classic that’s impossible not to smile in, this 1969 Volkswagen Beetle ticks every box. Instantly recognisable, endlessly cool and genuinely fun to drive, this Beetle has been lovingly cared for and tastefully upgraded while keeping all the character that makes these cars so special.

Finished in classic white, the car presents very well for its age, with paintwork that’s honest and reflects its age (Better than Most), exactly as you’d hope for a 1960s classic. It’s not over-restored or characterless — just a great-looking Beetle that turns heads and sparks conversations everywhere it goes.

Under the rear lid is a 1.6-litre engine, providing that unmistakable air-cooled soundtrack and an easy, enjoyable driving experience. The car has covered just 54,000 miles, has been kept garaged, and starts, runs and drives exactly as it should.

The interior has been refreshed, with new door cards, chrome handles, chrome window winders, new seat belts and new classic seats, giving the cabin a clean, smart feel while retaining the classic charm. You’ll also find a new Bluetooth radio along with a built in speaker box in the rear, making it easy to enjoy modern music without spoiling the period look.

A long list of recent upgrades makes this Beetle a good buy, usable and ready to enjoy straight away, including new wheels and tyres, lowered suspension, new alternator, new battery and a new exhaust and short shift gears. It also benefits from new German side skirts, new sun visors, a fire extinguisher, new mirrors and new lights, all carefully chosen to enhance the look without losing originality.

This car comes with extensive history, including the rare and impressive detail of having been previously sold through Bonhams, which speaks volumes about its quality and provenance. It’s clearly been owned by people who understand and appreciate classic cars.

Most importantly, this Beetle is huge fun. It’s the sort of car that makes every journey feel like an event, whether you’re heading out for a sunny weekend drive, a classic car meet, or just popping out for coffee. It’s light, engaging, full of personality and guaranteed to make you smile every time you open the garage door.

A brilliant opportunity to own an iconic classic that’s ready to be enjoyed rather than tucked away.

Serious enquiries welcome. Happy to answer questions and share additional photos.

We have had so much fun in our beetle and it has never let us down, but a new car forces sale. It has just been serviced and is tax and MOT exempt.
