Registration No: WX57 BVL
Chassis No: 3VWS1A1BX4M902599
MOT: March 2024

• Imported to the UK by Beetles (UK) Ltd / Danbury Camper Vans in 2007 as a delivery mileage car
• Single family ownership since being registered as ‘WX57 BVL’ and less than 14,000 miles
• ULEZ compliant and far more motorway friendly than most Beetles thanks to its fuel-injected 1.6 litre engine

The very first Volkswagen Beetles (Type 1) to be assembled in Mexico arrived as CKD kits (Complete Knock Down) during 1961. Demand for the ‘People’s Car’ was such that the Wolfsburg firm soon opened local factories at first Xalostoc and then Puebla with the 200,000^th Mexican built Beetle rolling off the latter’s production line during 1971. The last mainstream version of the Type 1 Beetle, the Sedan Unificado arrived in mid-1998. Powered by a fuel-injected 1.6 litre engine allied to four-speed all-synchromesh transmission, it also featured front disc brakes and cloth upholstery. A far more modern and usable proposition than its earlier siblings, the Sedan Unificado proved a popular ‘grey import’ with Beetle enthusiasts worldwide even after the very last Type 1 was completed on 30^th July 2003.

A notably late example dating from the final months of production, chassis 902599 was still showing delivery mileage when imported to the UK by Beetles (UK) Ltd of Rangeworthy, South Gloucestershire some four years later. Originally finished in Luna Beige with Anthracite cloth upholstery, the Sedan Unificado passed an SVA test and was first UK registered as ‘WX57 BVL’ on 1^st September 2007. Only ever registered to members of the same, London-based family since arriving on these shores, they paid £15,013 to acquire the Type 1 and a further £3,396.34 to have it professionally resprayed inside and out in Dark Grey by Bob Petersen Engineering of Devon during December 2007. Showing a warranted 22,000km (circa 13,800 miles) to its odometer, the Volkswagen remains highly presentable. Treated to minor servicing and a replacement alternator over the years, ‘WX57 BVL’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. ULEZ exempt, this decidedly low mileage Beetle is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, copy bill of sale, current MOT certificate and assorted paperwork.
