Having been the subject of a major renovation in all departments only ten years ago this is a very sweet looking Beetle presented in Nepal Orange with a contrasting black vinyl interior with orange stitching and piping to the seats.
Low number of owners, low (indicated) mileage and being a limited edition late model Beetle in such an eye-catching colour should ensure plenty of interest from enthusiasts, collectors, and Beetle fans.
• Black vinyl interior with orange stitching and piping
• Good condition throughout
• Heated rear window
• Re-trimmed and recent new carpets
The basic Beetle interior is in good shape throughout, having been re-trimmed as part of its renovation, and features the late model soft dashboard and a period radio, which may actually not work.
There are some signs of minor wear to the interior as you’d expect to find in a vehicle of this age and the headlining needs some attention but otherwise the interior presents very well.
The metal factory fitted sunroof works well and is a rare and welcome extra.
The exterior of the car looks vibrant in its rare Nepal Orange paint and, benefitting from some new body panels and a recent full re-spray, looks to be in good all-round condition.
The external body trim around the car is beginning to delaminate in places and there is the odd sign of paint bubbling in small areas and various chrome trim is also showing signs of age, but overall, the car looks very good.
Wheels and tyres all look good, as does the engine bay and underneath.
The nearside door may require some adjustment as it looks to have marked the body on closure and the door mirror is beginning to corrode, and the front bumper rubber insert looks loose, but these are minor issues easily put right.
A nicely renovated late model Beetle in a great colour that is full of character and is in great all-round condition.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
