This Beetle retains a classic appearance in Clementine Orange L20D, with a black interior and whitewall tyres. The seller describes both the body and cabin as near-new. Beneath that presentation, it lists a tuned 1.8-litre engine producing 90 PS, paired with a manual gearbox featuring a taller fourth gear. Disc brakes are fitted at both ends, while widened steel wheels sit on the rear axle. These modifications distinguish this example from a standard factory Beetle.
The advertisement describes a German-market, accident-free car with three previous owners and a recent inspection. Its displayed odometer reading is 4,300 km, without evidence establishing the total distance covered since new. First registration is recorded as April 1972, although the description repeatedly refers to construction in 1971. Both dates are retained separately rather than combined into a single claim. The precise build date and documentation for the mechanical preparation should be checked against this vehicle's records.
The car is located in Ismaning, Germany.
