The seller offers for sale this 1976 Volkswagen Beetle, fitted with a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and a manual transmission. The Beetle has been in the seller’s possession since 2020 and has been registered, regularly driven and properly serviced. The previous owner kept the car from 2004 to 2020, although it was only driven sparingly. The car was disassembled and repainted inside and out, including the chassis, which is described as solid. The interior has received updates but remains unfinished, offering the next owner the opportunity to finalise the restoration. The engine starts normally, produces no smoke once warm and makes no unusual noises. The gearbox shifts well, with no strange sounds reported. The car has not suffered accident damage and has no visible rust issues. It features a working canvas sunroof and comes with a number of old original parts, which the seller includes with the vehicle. The car holds a valid technical inspection and is ready to drive.
The Volkswagen Beetle remains one of the most iconic cars in automotive history. Celebrated for its simplicity, reliability and unmistakable silhouette, it became a global phenomenon and a symbol of accessible motoring. The 1970s models retained the classic air-cooled charm while benefiting from incremental improvements in comfort and drivability. Owners value the Beetle for its mechanical simplicity, cheerful driving character and strong enthusiast community. Restored examples with solid chassis work are especially appealing, as they provide a dependable base for further refinement or weekend enjoyment. This 1976 Beetle, with its renewed paintwork, rust-free chassis and preserved mechanical condition, offers a charming and usable classic that is ready for continued enjoyment or light finishing touches.
