1955 Volkswagen Beetle Oval 1200 Standard for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1955 Volkswagen Beetle Oval 1200 Standard is a used car showing 104,073 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Jupitergrau with a Grey interior.

Built as a Standard, the plainer entry-level Beetle, the car still wears its original Jupitergrau and keeps its matching numbers, original 1200 engine included. It reached the Volkswagen dealer Islinger in Mannheim on 14 February 1955.

It has had three owners from new; the third brought it to the Netherlands in 1993 and kept it for more than 24 years. The file runs from delivery to the present, with import and export papers, changes of ownership, many invoices and a letter from the Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen. The car was fully overhauled and restored in Germany some time ago, and its original interior trim has been reconditioned.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Volkswagen Beetle 1200 Oval uses the rear-mounted, air-cooled 1,192 cc flat-four, rated at 30 PS (22 kW), 5 PS more than the 1,131 cc unit it replaced in 1954, with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. The one-piece oval rear window replaced the split window on 10 March 1953 and gave way to a larger rectangular one for 1958. The Export model added chrome bumpers, better trim and a richer interior over the plainer Standard.

Is this Volkswagen Beetle priced above or below the European market?

At €32,500, it sits at the median of €32,500 for the 5 Volkswagen Beetle advertised in Europe in 2026. 40% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Volkswagen Beetle be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Volkswagen Beetle cost new?
