- Beautiful high-quality Italian restoration

- Original interior, nice Italian history

- "Targa Oro" awarded by the ASI

- Old Florence registration

- No reserve

Equipped with a 1300 engine producing 44 bhp – one of the most powerful ever seen in the Beetle –, this cabriolet has benefitted from a restoration that has respected its integrity, with the interior remaining entirely original. The bodywork, designed by Karmann, is superb in its light yellow colour and features a flat windscreen, a sought-after version that was followed by models featuring a curved windscreen. Its black imitation upholstery is magnificently preserved and its original dashboard is still complete with its vintage Blaupunkt radio. The soft top is in very good condition and fits snugly over the cabin, which is spacious enough to seat five people, making it ideal for outings with family and friends. What's more, this car comes with a 'Targa Oro' plate issued by the ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano), attesting to its authenticity. It should be noted that this car still has its old Florence registration (FI 580558) with black plates. This is a car that is incredibly likeable. It's robust and easy to drive and is in beautiful condition, which should appeal to the most demanding enthusiasts.
