Along with the Ford Model T, Citroen 2CV, and original Mini, the Volkswagen Beetle is generally recognised as being one of the elite pack of pop motoring icons. Conceived in the small Stuttgart design office of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the air-cooled, rear-engined 'People's Wagon', sponsored by the new German Chancellor, one Adolf Hitler before the outbreak of War, and resurrected by the British Army Major Ivan Hirst as part of the Allies post-war rebuilding of bombed-out German industry, went on to clock up a 21 million world record production milestone. The 1302 and 1303 'Super Beetles' saw the final development of the Beetle, and in many ways, they were the best. To the casual observer, the 1970 Beetle looked similar to previous models, the 1302 and 1303 ‘Super’ Beetles were the most radical reworks of the car during its long life. MacPherson strut front suspension was adopted, which allowed more front boot space and improved handling. The struts also allowed space for front disc brakes to be fitted from the factory.

Manufactured in 1975, chassis 1352183373 was supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-hand drive, being registered new on the 3^rd June that year. Understood to have been provided with an extensive chassis-up restoration to a good standard in 2004, the Beetle was provided a full repaint in Bronze paintwork and was fitted with a renewed engine as part of this restoration. In current registered ownership since 2009, the Beetle recently benefitted from new front and rear brake shoes and front springs (in 2023). Offered with c.91,500 miles on the odometer, the Volkswagen is supplied with a history file that contains a selection of previous MOTs and invoices, a current MOT certificate until August next year with no advisories and a current V5C document. Featuring 'Empi 8-spoke'-style alloy wheels, the Beetle started readily and running driving well during our recent photography session, this example is a nicely presented example.
