Description from the seller

IN RISALTO
- Equipped with Federperiti Conformity Guarantee Expertise
- Cabriolet Version
- Only 60,956 kilometers
- In the original color L041 Schwarz
- Technical inspection valid until March 2027

HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet is the historic and iconic open-top version of the famous Volkswagen Beetle, produced from 1949 in collaboration with the coachbuilder Karmann, featuring a fabric folding roof and a distinctive line that has marked entire generations of motorists.

The example offered at auction is finished in the elegant original color L041 Schwarz and is equipped with a technical inspection passed without defects detected.

EXTERIOR
The bodywork has been completely restored by the previous owner and today presents in excellent overall condition, shiny and ready to use.

The convertible top has recently been replaced with a new one and is in superb condition; it is easily operable in opening and closing operations. A professional polishing and detailing treatment has also been carried out to further enhance its aesthetic presentation. A measurement with a depth gauge showed no signs of accidents or significant structural repairs.

The chassis was repainted during the previous restoration and today remains generally solid and suitable for use.

INTERIOR
The interior has been restored and presents in excellent condition. The cabin is complete, well presented and fully usable. The dashboard retains the central instrument, and every detail is well finished.

The interior lining of the top is also in good condition. The entire cabin has recently undergone a professional sanitization treatment.

MECHANICAL
The car runs well; the engine, as stated in the registration papers, has been kept efficient through regular starts: it starts easily and runs smoothly. The transmission, clutch, braking system and gearbox operate correctly, allowing normal use of the car. The technical inspection is valid and has been passed without defects detected. Technical inspections have consistently been passed without faults over the years: 2018, 2021, 2023, 2025. As with any classic car, before undertaking long trips a minimal and normal preventive general check is advisable.

A fascinating Volkswagen Beetle, offered in the sought-after Cabriolet version, is a classic ideal for enjoying driving in the pleasant season and is destined to attract increasing interest among model enthusiasts.

Disclaimer

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.
