AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Beetle is being auctioned without a reserve price. That means the highest bidder will become the owner of this beautiful vehicle.
GENERAL:
A beautiful and characterful Volkswagen Beetle from 1985.
The car rolled off the assembly line in 1985 and came to the Netherlands in 1995.
From 2012 through 2026 the Beetle was owned by a single owner.
The interior is still original as when the car left the factory.
EXTERIOR:
The body has some cosmetic blemishes around the entire surface. The paintwork is not perfect everywhere and shows signs of use and age.
We have taken honest photos of this, so the condition of the car can be assessed accurately.
The underbody has been worked on in the past. For a Beetle now over 40 years old, that is not unusual. The car is therefore not a concours car, but a beautiful and usable classic with authentic character.
TECHNICAL:
The Beetle is equipped with the 1300 cc air-cooled flat-four engine with 44 hp. The engine runs very well, starts immediately every time, and the car drives very nicely.
The engine feels lively, making the car well-suited to actually drive and enjoy the character of a classic Beetle.
INTERIOR:
The interior is one of the most appealing features of this Beetle and is still factory-original.
The car has the typical red fabric interior, with the matching blue door panels originally supplied from the factory.
These original blue door panels are still present.
Even a small but beautiful detail has been preserved: the original blue steering wheel cover from 1985 is still wrapped around the wheel.
It is precisely these original details that make a car interesting for enthusiasts.
The interior shows signs of wear and age, appropriate to the car’s age.
DOCUMENTS:
The chassis number is clearly legible and even the data plate is still mounted under the hood.
The Beetle was produced in 1985 and came to the Netherlands in 1995.
From 2012 through 2026 it was owned by a single owner.
A notable detail is that the old Dutch paper registration document is still with the car.
The car is currently registered in the Netherlands.
When selling outside the Netherlands, the Beetle will be provided with the necessary export documents.
Delivery to the buyer’s home address can also be arranged if desired.
We advise both domestic and international buyers to check in advance whether the car meets the technical and registration requirements of the destination country. These requirements can vary by country.

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.
