Volkswagen Beetle 1200 Dickholmer, 1964.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Volkswagen Beetle 1200 'Dickholmer' from 1964, one of Volkswagen's most charismatic and historically relevant models. The 'Dickholmer' designation refers to the larger rear and side windows, introduced to improve visibility and comfort, marking an important milestone in the evolution of the classic Beetle during the 1960s.
This example is in working order and presents itself as an honest classic, with a solid base and a high potential for appreciation. It retains the original character of the model, making it ideal for both collectors and enthusiasts who wish to use the vehicle at events, for rides or exhibitions, or to make improvements gradually over time.
Exterior
Externally, the vehicle is complete, retaining all of its essential elements. The paintwork shows a condition consistent with its age, with normal signs of wear. There are some rust spots visible on the chrome, something common in vehicles from this era.
The car's structure is solid, providing an excellent foundation both for preservation in its current state and for any eventual light restoration, in line with the future owner's preferences.
Interior
The interior is complete and shows normal wear for a car that is over six decades old. The overall condition is in line with the vehicle's age, preserving the original ambiance of the classic Beetle.
The interior headliner needs care, something common on this type of car, leaving room for improvement or customization while maintaining or restoring originality.
Mechanics and Operation
Mechanically, the vehicle is operational. The engine runs correctly, the car moves, brakes and steers, fully fulfilling its function as a usable automobile. It only requires the normal maintenance appropriate to its age and to the simple, robust and reliable engineering that has always characterized the Beetle.
It is worth noting 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.
Conclusion
The Volkswagen Beetle 1200 “Dickholmer” is an increasingly sought-after model, recognized for its mechanical simplicity, proven reliability, and excellent availability of spare parts. It is a true worldwide automotive icon, with a strong historical presence and an active community of enthusiasts.
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.

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.
