Spending close to 30 years in the care of its original owner, this exceptional Type 1 was stashed in storage after just 3,200 miles of easy road time. When a second owner came calling, the car needed, among a few other things, a slight clutch adjustment. Because that unkempt clutch created a drivability issue, owner number two decided to confine the Bug to even more storage. And, by the time owner number three arrived, this classic had ripened into a low-mileage time capsule. Owner number three, a professional technician and avid European car enthusiast, performed a thorough tune-up. And today, this exclusive Volkswagen, having just surpassed 300 trouble-free miles of road time, is fully sorted and ready to roll!
