1972 VW BEETLE 1303 S ONE REGISTERED OWNER
The 1303 S was a modernised version of the Volkswagen Beetle, introduced in August 1972 with an increased front boot capacity, curved windscreen, MacPherson strut front suspension and, in the case of the S model (as here), a 1.6-litre engine giving 50bhp. This example was registered in November 1972 and has had just one registered keeper since then; an engineer who carried out most of the servicing and repairs, although some early stamps are in the service book. The VW hasn't been used for around eight years and so isn't running; it will require recommissioning and repair work to return to the road. The Beetle was registered in November 1972 and its last MoT expired in December 2008 after being tested the year before at an indicated (1)12,492 miles. The current odometer reading is (1)13,033 miles. The paperwork file includes the original bill of sale from November 1972 for £1127.27p, some V5 registration documents, all MoTs from 1980 to 2017, the original user handbook, original service book, Blaupunkt radio user guide and spare keys.
