Description from the seller
GENERAL
For sale: a beautiful classic in very nice condition – the iconic Volkswagen Beetle 1200 from 1969.
This Beetle has an odometer reading of 80,950 km and is powered by an original 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine with a power output of 25 kW (34 hp). The car is painted in the original color Chinchilla Grey (L70F) and bears the license plate 89-73-HT.
The APK (periodic vehicle inspection) is no longer mandatory, as the car falls under historic exemption (RDW recognized).
BODYWORK & PAINT
In 2019 the Beetle was fully restored. The bodywork, underside, side panels and frame members were completely refurbished. The car has been repainted in the original factory color Chinchilla Grey and has been in excellent condition ever since.
During the restoration new bumpers in German chrome/steel were installed, as well as new window seals, original trim strips and an authentic under-dash rack. The luggage compartment features a folding cover, and a classic Hitachi radio has been installed.
The chromework is neat, the body is solid, and the car shows no rust spots or damage.
TECHNICAL
In 2022 a number of technical components were renewed, including spark plugs, cables, filters and the complete fuel system with tank. New tires and rims were also mounted. The front axle is equipped with new shock absorbers and lowered spindles, and a major service was carried out.
The Beetle runs excellently, with the original engine still aboard. The engine starts well, runs smoothly and the transmission shifts easily. The chassis, brakes and electrical system are in very good condition, with no technical faults or weak points.
INTERIOR
The interior is largely original and in excellent condition. All upholstery, the dashboard and headlining are neatly finished and well maintained. Thanks to the restoration, the interior remains fresh, complete and authentic, preserving the classic character that makes this Beetle so recognizable.
DOCUMENTS
The car comes with both the original steel wheels with hubcaps and the currently mounted alloy Smiths wheels.
There is a full appraisal report indicating the car is in class 2, meaning the bodywork, paint, chrome and interior are in very good condition. The engine, transmission, suspension and electrical installation are also described as excellent.
VIEWING
The car is available for viewing by appointment. Any delivery or transportation can be arranged by mutual agreement. The Beetle is being sold by a private owner who has maintained the car carefully and stored it indoors.
OTHER INFORMATION
This Volkswagen Beetle is an original Dutch car with a clear maintenance history. It has been carefully refreshed while preserving authenticity and originality.
It is an excellent choice for a collector seeking a classic icon, but also for the enthusiast who wants to drive trouble-free. Reliable, charming and value-stable – a Beetle ready for many years of driving pleasure.

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.
