Description
VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1303 L. YEAR:17.02.1978. Serial number: 1582020968. French registration. Finish : Convertible . Colour : yellow
odometer: 13070 km. The 1303 L cabriolet bodied by Karmann is one of the latest developments of the famous classic Beetle produced in the early 1970s. Particularly appreciated for its improved comfort, its curved windscreen and its convertible version, it offers better roadholding than its predecessors and also a more spacious boot.
The 1303 L cabriolet has become a much sought-after classic, thanks to its ease of maintenance, simple mechanics, wide availability of parts and the feeling of belonging to a strong community of enthusiasts. It was the last version made in Germany before production ceased in 1980.
This version is powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled, flat 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1,285 cc.
The mechanics are in good condition and have benefited from regular servicing by the specialist "les charrettes de la Crau". However, the bodywork shows some signs of corrosion, and the chassis has been coated with a layer of anti-gravel. The expert's report indicates that the engine is a 1600cc from 1973/74. It is in good working order, powered by a solex carburettor. The expert's report dated 3.10.2016 will be given to the buyer along with a recent technical inspection.
