1971 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 - Kavan Beige - Only Three Owners - Original and Unrestored A genuinely charming and increasingly rare 1971 Volkswagen Beetle 1300, finished in the lovely original colour of Kavan Beige. This is an unrestored, original Beetle that has been in the hands of just three owners from new and has covered 86,400 miles. Perhaps most importantly for the enthusiast or collector, the car comes with a substantial history file, including maintenance paperwork dating back to the 1970s. The original engine and gearbox remain with the car, preserving its authenticity and character. The Beetle is in generally good condition for its age, although, as you would expect with an unrestored car of over 50 years old, there are some areas of the bodywork that would benefit from attention. It has now been garaged to protect the bodywork and preserve the car for the future. Recently, the Beetle was entrusted to a specialist classic Volkswagen garage, Absolute VW, where it was serviced and checked over to ensure that it is roadworthy and safe to enjoy.

Rather than being a recently restored or heavily modified example, this car retains the character and history accumulated over more than five decades. The Kavan Beige paintwork, original mechanical components, three-owner history and paperwork reaching back to the 1970s all help tell the story of a car that has been preserved rather than reinvented.
