About this lot

This beautiful VW Beetle convertible was restored to perfection a few years ago. The car has been completely disassembled, of course the body was separated from the base plate. Everything was dismantled from both chassis and bodywork in such a way that the car was accurately painted after the necessary repair work and received a special zinc anti-corrosion treatment. This car is not provided with a camouflaging coating layer like many others, but is painted all around where you can clearly see the tightness of the inner panels. Today, the car is still very neat and ready for use. Technical: When the body and underbody were separated, the car was completely renewed in terms of brakes, steering and suspension. It is of course an original convertible with 15 as the starting figures of the chassis. The original 1200cc engine was also overhauled and upgraded to a 1600cc double port with new bearings, cylinders and seals. With its 50 hp, it is still smooth and fun to drive on small roads and beautiful country roads. The engine is still bone dry to this day. The clutch and gearbox were also checked, renewed where necessary (clutch) and polished. Everything works in terms of lighting and safety. Interior: The interior and the convertible top have been outsourced to a specialized company and were thoroughly addressed. The convertible top has been fully equipped with new components: frame, headliner, insulation fabric and outer canvas. The car was then used for several years as a sunny Sunday driver and was always well maintained. There are slight signs of wear noticeable but certainly no damage. The ideal Beetle convertible for the purist who is looking for a car that is as good as new.

Frequently asked questions

How do I place a bid?

You can easily participate in the auction through the website. Log in as usual and navigate to the lot of your choice. On the right side of the screen, you will find 'Bid' and 'Auto Bid.' Click on 'How does this work' for more information about automatic bidding.

Click on 'Bid' to see the total amount of your bid, including the buyer's premium and VAT. After accepting the general terms and user conditions by checking the box, click 'Confirm' to place the bid.

What is reserve price?

A reserve price is the (non-visible!) minimum amount that a seller has set for a lot and is the lowest price for which the seller is willing to sell. The highest bidder who meets or exceeds this price wins.

If this price is not met, you can still have a chance to win. The closer your bid is to the reserve price, the greater your chance of winning this lot.

The lot is awarded to the highest bidder whose bid is equal to - or higher than - the reserve price at the end of the auction. If the highest bid has met the reserve price or more, the lot is sold immediately for this price.

What costs are added to my bid?

In addition to your bid, additional costs are incurred in the form of a buyer's premium percentage and VAT. These percentages vary depending on the country. VAT is applied to both your bid and the buyer's premium. Before confirming your bid, you will always receive an overview detailing all relevant amounts associated with your bid, including the final total. This way, you are fully informed about the total amount of your bid.

What is an auto bid versus a manual bid?

An auto bid is a way for you to automatically participate in a bidding process. You enter an amount you are willing to pay for an item and then automatic bids are placed for you up to your maximum bid - but only if necessary. Your maximum bid is hidden from other bidders during the auction. Placed auto bids are indicated by an "A" after the placed bid in the bid history. You need to update a manual bid every time someone outbids you. Keep in mind that an auto bid in the same level as a later manual bid will always lead the auction - because it was placed first.
