1971 VW Beetle 1302s Karmann Cabriolet For Sale

Stunning original rare and highly collectable, matching numbers 1971 VW Beetle 1302s Karmann Cabriolet just had final 12 months MOT, tax exempt.

Built in August 1971 and in its original much desirable colour of Marina Blue. This VW Beetle is a genuine 1302s Karmann Convertible, 1. 6 litre built in Osnabrueck, Germany, for the US market for just 9 months with the flat windscreen and IRS 4-speed gearbox making this model extremely rare and increasing in value daily.

I bought the car at the famous Pamona Car meet in California in January 2014 from the local owner who had run out of money to restore the car back to its former glory (New roof and prepped for paint see picture how it came from the port) after it had been garaged for decades. I imported the VW back to the UK and over a period of 3 years it has been subject to a nut and bolt major restoration that was carried out to an excellent standard and to its original specification and freshly painted (2016) in its original colour of Marina Blue with its all original grid Scar black interior.

The condition is truly exceptional with stunning paintwork and bodywork a fortune in time and money has been spent re-commissioning after many years off the road . As a result the VW drives perfectly and resembles a car just a few years old. The engine is excellent, strong and healthy, the gear changes are effortless and the VW handles, steers and brakes perfectly.

'Carlos' is quite unique finding another low mileage example in such top class condition will not be easy turns heads and is photographed everywhere I go, I can't leave it anywhere without a crowd gathering. The car sits on Fuchs alloys that came with the car when I bought it and look awesome I love the Cal look so as you can see it has Cal bars on the back (Original bumper and many spare parts included) and a GT exhaust which I believe add to its character and California roots.
