⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Volkswagen Beetle remains one of the most recognisable and beloved cars ever produced, a design icon that transcends generations.

From its humble origins as the “peoples' car” to its global cult status, the Beetle’s charm lies in its simplicity, reliability, and unmistakable shape. By the late 1970s, production of the classic Beetle in the UK was coming to an end, marking the close of an extraordinary chapter in automotive history. To commemorate this, Volkswagen released a final batch of 300 “Last Edition” Beetles for the UK market, each individually numbered and finished in Silver Metallic — a fitting send-off for one of the world’s most enduring designs.

Coming from ~9 years with our vendor, this “Last Edition” example is number 65 of 300, retaining its matching numbered plaque and presented in lovely, original condition. Having been stored, it remains a fine representation of the Beetle’s lasting appeal, a piece of motoring history preserved for future generations. It is MOT and road tax exempt.
