1977 Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet Champagne Edition for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1977 Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet Champagne Edition is a used car showing 27,105 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Alpinweiss with an Opal White interior.

It carries the triple-white look of the Champagne Edition, a limited series of the Karmann-built 1303 Cabriolet: Alpinweiss paint, Opal White trim and a white hood. The car was sold new in Whittier, California.

Its body has never needed welding and was stripped to bare metal for a careful respray in the 1990s. Gallery Aaldering speaks of a restoration that took more than 400 hours, and the original booklets and the history file are included. For better reliability, the air-cooled engine is now fed by a carburettor.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet uses the rear-mounted, air-cooled 1,584 cc flat-four, rated at 50 PS (37 kW), with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. The 1303 took over from the 1302 in August 1972 with a strongly curved windscreen and MacPherson struts at the front; rack-and-pinion steering followed in 1975. Karmann built the four-seat cabriolet body at Osnabrück.

FAQ

This Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet in the European market

Is this Volkswagen priced above or below the European market?

At €29,500, it sits below the median of €46,534 for the 27 Volkswagen advertised in Europe in 2026. 4% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

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

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. 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 1303 Cabriolet cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €4,122 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €29,500, 616% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1977 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Volkswagen compare?

27,105 km recorded, against a median of 33,373 km across the Volkswagen advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Volkswagen are priced closest to this one?

a 1954 car in the Netherlands at €31,500, and a 1955 car in the Netherlands at €32,500. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Volkswagen 1303 Cabriolet be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.

Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
