The seller offers for sale this 1965 Volkswagen 311 Coupe, located in Heino, the Netherlands. Purchased three years ago, the car has been used for touring and remains in solid condition. The 1.6L 4-cylinder petrol engine starts reliably, makes no unusual noises, and is paired with a smooth-shifting manual gearbox. The car shows no visible rust, accident damage, or smoke from the exhaust, and the electrical functions operate correctly. It retains its original Dutch registration and has been appraised by ClassicCarsTaxaties.nl at €16,500. The bodywork shows only minor signs of age, while the interior presents well with good seats, working instruments, and preserved originality. Despite its age, the Volkswagen drives confidently and is a strong candidate for enjoyable use or classic car events.
The Volkswagen 311 was part of the Type 3 series introduced in the early 1960s to complement the Beetle. Offering more space and modern styling, the Type 3 came in several body styles, including the fastback, notchback, and Variant estate. The 311 coupe represents the practical yet stylish side of this lineup, with Volkswagen’s familiar air-cooled flat-four engine providing dependable performance. Appreciated for its combination of simplicity and classic design, the 311 holds a special place in the brand’s history as a bridge between the Beetle and later models. Collectors value these cars for their understated character, ease of maintenance, and connection to Volkswagen’s enduring legacy.
