Model information

Beetle 1300

Info

Here’s a nice 1300 Beetle that I spotted at the very successful Help Emma Beat It event in Galway which was held on Sunday 29th June 2014 and supported by Irish Vintage Scene Magazine and Retro Classics Magazine.

This particular Beetle was looking very fresh and showed signs that a lot of time and effort was put into the restoration. Without speaking to the owner I cannot confirm the paint code but we would assume it is Toga White (L90C)

The interior of the Beetle has received new upholstery in red and cream with cream piping on the seats. There is also a new carpet set in there too which is very striking in red.

The exterior features all new window rubbers with trim, new old style period correct number plates, a vintage AA badge as well as new chrome bumpers, tail pipes and hubcaps. The exterior also features both driver and passenger door mirrors.

This was a lovely Beetle restored to fantastic condition so congrats to the owner. it’s a credit to your care and attention that it looked so well.
