SUMMARY
One of the final Volkswagen Beetles ever, this low mileage, low ownership, Last Edition is in immaculate, well-preserved condition.
DESCRIPTION
- One of 300 final-edition Volkswagen Beetles, the last cars to roll off the production line in Germany in 1978
- Finished in Jubilee Silver metallic paintwork with excellent Marine Blue velour trim and presented in time-warp condition
- Retaining the limited edition plaque numbering this example #135/300 supported by a letter from Volkswagen
- A low mileage example showing just under 22,500 miles. Recently detailed and treated to a ceramic coating to preserve the unique paint finish
- Probably an unrepeatable opportunity to own a VW motoring icon presented in 'showroom' condition
- Manufactured in 1978 and registered in 1980, the original owner of this LE Beetle cherished the car for 40 years, and it's now showing just two former keepers on the clean HPI report
