AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General
Unique
Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 Diesel with original camper shell. This concerns an exceptionally original Volkswagen Caddy from 1981, now 44 years old, directly imported from dry Oregon, USA, and coming from the second owner. The car is unrestored, unpainted, and completely rust-free, making it a rare find. A true icon in an incredibly original condition, ready for a second life.
Bodywork & Paint Shop
The bodywork is in a completely rust-free condition. The floor, chassis, cargo bed, and the space under the hood are exceptionally clean and dry. The paintwork is fully original and, considering the age, in very good condition with a correct and authentic patina. The car is equipped with a rare original campershell, which makes the whole vehicle even more special.
Technical
The Caddy is equipped with the reliable 1.6 diesel engine. The engine runs well, shifts correctly, and the car drives as it should. The vehicle has always been properly maintained and is in good technical condition.
INTERIOR:
The interior is completely original and has been very well preserved. The left seat has been professionally reupholstered, while the rest of the interior has retained its original appearance.
Documents
The car is delivered with the original Oregon Title and all required and already fulfilled import documents. Additionally, the original window sticker and instruction manual set are included. Due to the vehicle's age, built before 1996, a COC document is not required for registration in Europe.
AFHALING
The Volkswagen Caddy is available for viewing and pickup in Damwoude, Netherlands. The vehicle is currently not registered for public roads and still needs an RDW inspection for registration in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. All import and VAT costs have already been paid.
Other Information
Although the car is in exceptionally good condition, it remains a 44-year-old vehicle and may always have minor signs of use or points of attention. We describe our cars as honestly as possible and always recommend a personal viewing if in doubt to avoid disappointment. Transport across Europe can be arranged by us. This is a unique opportunity to become the owner of a special and original piece of automotive history.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
