AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Volkswagen Beetle 1200 Saxomat 6V – 1965
Conserved, almost entirely in original paint, ASI Gold Plate
Overview
Offered in exceptional preservation conditions, this authentic Volkswagen Beetle 1200 6 Volt in the very rare Saxomat semi-automatic transmission version represents one of the most sought-after and hard-to-find variants among brand enthusiasts.
The car was built on June 14, 1965 and registered on July 23, 1965. Until 1969 it remained at the official Volkswagen dealership in Gorizia as a demonstrator vehicle, after which it was sold to a single owner who has kept it with extraordinary care for over fifty years.
The Saxomat system, today little known even among Volkswagen specialists, makes this specimen particularly rare. Further embellishing it are the high degree of originality, almost all of the first factory paint, and a truly remarkable state of conservation.
Conditiones
The interior is completely original and well preserved, as is the mileage of 93,323 km, considered authentic.
As is natural for a car over sixty years old, there are light signs of wear that attest to its originality and enhance its charm, without compromising overall quality.
The car comes with Italian plates and documents ready for transfer of ownership and is regularly registered with ASI with:
- Certificate of Historic Relevance;
- ASI Identity Certificate;
- Gold Plate homologation.
Maintenance
After being properly taken off the road at the end of the 1990s, the car was put back on the road in December 2023, following careful routine maintenance including:
- replacement of the brake pump and the front and rear wheel cylinders;
- replacement of the front and rear brake hoses;
- carburetor cleaning;
- replacement of all fuel lines;
- interior tank treatment with Tankerite;
- spark plug replacement;
- engine oil replacement;
- transmission oil replacement;
- battery replacement;
- replacement of the front hub nuts with related washers;
- professional bodywork polishing.
There are some touch-ups to the paint carried out over the years on small portions of the body, as documented in the photographs.
Originality and equipment
The electrical system is fully functional, as is the entire mechanical setup. The car is ready to be used and tackle any journey.
Included with the car:
- original user and maintenance manual;
- original Saxomat system supplement;
- original Volkswagen-branded glass;
- first‑key and locks.
Considerations
Finding a Saxomat Beetle today is already extremely difficult. Finding one with such well-documented history, a single private owner, almost entirely original paint, ASI Gold Plate certification, and such a high level of originality represents an opportunity for the most demanding collectors and Volkswagen enthusiasts.
Additional information
The car is viewable in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
Transfer of ownership costs (or demolition for export purposes) and transportation are the responsibility of the buyer.
Upon request, it is possible to arrange vehicle transport within Italy and worldwide, by agreement.

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.

This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
