The seller offers for sale this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle 1302, powered by a 1.2 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine combined with a manual gearbox.
In November 2025 the car underwent mechanical servicing, including work to the suspension and the installation of new tyres. The engine starts without issues and runs smoothly. The body is described as being in good condition with normal signs of use and no visible rust. It holds a valid technical inspection.
The Volkswagen Beetle 1302, part of the so-called Super Beetle generation, introduced technical improvements such as a revised front suspension layout for enhanced driving comfort and stability. While maintaining the unmistakable rounded silhouette and rear-mounted air-cooled engine, the 1302 offered improved handling characteristics compared to earlier versions. By the early 1970s, the Beetle had already become a global automotive icon, known for durability and mechanical simplicity. Today the 1302 appeals to enthusiasts seeking a classic Volkswagen with classic styling combined with improved road manners and everyday usability.
