Model information

1200 Beetle Deluxe

Info

Back in 2021 this eye-catching Beetle popped up for sale and Noah Ryan spotted it. It had been restored by the previous owner but was now being offered for sale in need of some recommissioning work, having been garaged and unused for a number of years. The November 1965 Beetle looked great in its Herbie livery and a ragtop roof that was grafted in to make this look exactly like the real Herbie. From what we can see, this would have made a lovely useable Beetle with just a few weekends work in the garage. This Beetle has not been seen on the show scene but hopefully it is in the hands of an enthusiast who is enjoying their new Beetle.
