The seller offers for sale this 1967 Volkswagen Beetle 1300, powered by a 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. First registered on 28 March 1967, this example presents a rebuilt engine along with several other mechanical refreshments, including a new battery and a number of new bushings. The upholstery, while not original, remains in good condition, and the car rides on a set of alloy wheels fitted with good tyres. The bodywork is described by the seller as being in good condition overall, though some minor paint imperfections, including small areas of bubbling, are present in places.

Introduced in 1965 as part of the evolution of the original Volkswagen Type 1, the 1300 designation marked a step up in performance, replacing the smaller 1200 unit that had powered the Beetle since its post-war debut. With its air-cooled, rear-mounted four-cylinder engine and instantly recognisable silhouette, the Beetle went on to become one of the best-selling cars ever produced, admired for its simplicity, durability and easy-going character. The 1300 variant, offered from the mid-1960s, struck a popular balance between everyday usability and the charm that made the model a global icon, and remains a firm favourite among classic car enthusiasts today.

Beneath the sloping rear deck lid sits the air-cooled flat-four, feeding power through a manual gearbox to the rear wheels, a layout that gives the Beetle its distinctive, playful driving character. Inside, the cabin retains the charmingly simple ambience typical of the model, with patterned upholstery and a straightforward dashboard layout. Well over half a century after it left the factory, this 1967 example offers an accessible and characterful entry into air-cooled Volkswagen ownership, ready to be enjoyed on the road or added to a growing collection.
