Although an expensive car when new, what a treat people got who specified their Beetle with this engine. With 170 Bhp on tap, it’s powerful and super smooth to drive while still averaging over 31 Mpg. Being a range topping model the standard specification was excellent however, there were still a few upgrades available such as leather, electric glass sunroof, CD unit and winter pack (heated seats) which, brings us nicely to our car because, here we have a special example thats had all the available optional upgrades included in the original specification and, not only that, it’s also a remarkably nice car that has clearly been loved- its been looked after and maintained very well. Registered in 2002 on a 51 plate, this Beetle has had just two owners from new, the second took ownership 20 years ago, back in 2005 and whilst the car has had light use covering 60,000 genuine miles from new, it’s a credit to the owner that he’s managed to keep it in such fine condition. The alloys are corrosion free and unmarked, which suggests it’s been parked off-road when not in use, and another sure sign is how straight the body panels are- The red paint is bright and really suits the car, especially over the black leather interior, which complements it nicely and is in lovely condition. There is an excellent maintenance record included along with the handbooks and, upon receiving the car, we noted the oil was particularly nice and clean, the tyres are all excellent and have lots of tread remaining plus, we have recently had a service and an advisory-free MOT carried out to bring the maintenance record completely up to date. There is a spare key, and it’s now fully prepared and ready to drive away. This car offers something a little different to the average Beetle. Four-seater fun for all the family to enjoy and for not a lot of money which, makes it an ideal weekend toy!
