AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Volkswagen Beetle 1200 “Dickholmer” from 1964, one of the most charismatic and historically relevant Volkswagen models. The designation “Dickholmer” refers to the larger rear and side windows, introduced to improve visibility and comfort, marking an important phase in the evolution of the classic Beetle during the 1960s.

This example is in running condition and presents itself as an honest classic, with a solid base and high potential for appreciation. It retains the original character of the model, making it ideal for collectors as well as enthusiasts who wish to use the vehicle at events, drives, or exhibitions, or to undertake gradual improvements over time.

Exterior

Externally, the vehicle is complete, retaining all its essential elements. The paint is in keeping with its age, showing normal signs of use. There are a few visible rust spots on the chrome, something common on vehicles of this era.
The car’s structure is solid, offering an excellent base for both preservation in its current state and for a possible light restoration, according to the future owner’s preferences.

Interior

The interior is complete and shows normal wear for a car over six decades old. The overall condition is consistent with the vehicle’s age, preserving the original ambience of the classic Beetle.
The interior lining needs care, something usual on this type of car, leaving room for improvement or customization, while maintaining or restoring originality.

Mechanical and Operation

Mechanically, the vehicle is operable. The engine runs correctly, the car moves, stops and steers, fully meeting its function as a usable automobile. It only requires normal maintenance appropriate to its age and to the simple, robust, and reliable mechanics that have always characterized the Beetle.

It is important to note that the 1200 cc engine is the factory-original, with matching numbers, a factor highly valued by collectors and essential to the vehicle’s authenticity.

The Volkswagen Beetle 1200 “Dickholmer” is a model increasingly sought after, recognized for its mechanical simplicity, proven reliability, and excellent parts availability. It is a true automotive icon worldwide, with strong historical presence and an active enthusiast community.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an authentic classic Volkswagen, with preserved original features, matching numbers, and strong potential for future appreciation in the classic car market.

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.
