1969 Volkswagen Beetle
R135 000
Presented here is a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle powered by its 1300 single-port engine. The vehicle remained in single ownership for the majority of its life, with the original owner being well known to the second owner, adding to the car’s well-preserved and traceable history.
The Beetle is a highly usable and reliable example that starts easily on the turn of the key and drives exceptionally well. The vehicle was recently serviced and offers the type of honest driving experience that has made these air-cooled Volkswagens so popular for generations.
Importantly, the vehicle has spent its entire life in Johannesburg and presents with an exceptionally clean floor pan and no rust.
While not a concours or perfect example, it is an honest and well-kept Beetle that can be enjoyed immediately as intended. At 56 years old, the vehicle retains a remarkable amount of character.
The vehicle comes complete with its jack, keys including spare key, service books and manuals, as well as documented service history up to 89,000 miles. The car features matching stamped glass throughout, barring the windscreen which was replaced at some stage during its life, while also retaining its correct window beadings together with original Hella headlights and taillights. The vehicle presents with exceptionally clean floor pans and side steps. The Beetle has received a repaint during its life together with a new roof lining and presents well overall.
An increasingly difficult type of Beetle to find — an honest, rust-free, usable classic retaining much of its history and charm.
The vehicle is located in Johannesburg, South Africa, however shipping can be arranged by our company for any international client.

We only work with classic cars that meet high standards of quality. Our inspections cover both mechanical and exterior details, and we provide high-resolution images and videos to give you a complete picture of the car’s condition.
