Description
For sale is a beautifully restored 1954 Volkswagen Beetle, a true gem of automotive history. This classic Beetle combines the timeless charm of vintage VW design with the added thrill of a rare ragtop sunroof, making it the perfect blend of nostalgia and open-air driving.
Unlike the earlier split-window models, this Beetle features the iconic oval rear window that defined mid-'50s VW design. The car has been carefully restored 15 years ago, with attention paid to maintaining its authenticity. From the period-correct paint finish to the restored interior, it has been preserved to retain its original charm while offering modern reliability. The paint is showing minor imperfections.
Under the hood, you’ll find the original 36 horsepower, air-cooled flat-four engine, which runs smoothly and reliably, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts seamlessly. The interior has been meticulously restored with original-style upholstery and a dashboard that captures the essence of its era, maintaining that unmistakable vintage feel.
One of the standout features is the ragtop sunroof, a rare and highly sought-after option. It slides open effortlessly, allowing you to enjoy sunny days and cool breezes while you drive. The exterior shines with a beautiful, period-correct paint finish that is sure to turn heads wherever you go.
We bought from a true collector that has recently upgraded to a 356 porsche and is willing to part with his Beetle. She comes with Belgian registration and is ready to hit the road.
This 1954 Beetle isn’t just a car; it’s a living piece of history, ideal for collectors, VW enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates classic automotive craftsmanship. Ready for its next adventure, this Beetle is a joy to drive and an investment in timeless style. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this rare and stunning vehicle!
