General model history:

The VW Beetle 1302 S from 1972 marked a decisive phase in the evolution of the legendary Beetle - the vehicle that became an automotive symbol worldwide. With its modern McPherson strut front axle and the semi-trailing arm rear axle, the 1302 S differed significantly from its predecessors in technical terms and brought a new driving experience to the Beetle series.

Equipped with 50 hp as standard for the first time, the 1302 S combined the classic Beetle shape with sporty driving dynamics. Its Porsche-like roadholding not only made it a popular everyday companion, but also the basis for numerous rally cars - above all the famous Salzburg Beetle, which celebrated considerable motorsport successes in the early 1970s.

On 17 February 1972, Volkswagen made automotive history with the Beetle: with the production of the 15 millionth vehicle, the previous world record holder, the Ford Model T, was surpassed. Just a few weeks later, in April 1972, this model was delivered - in the characteristic Maraton Blue Metallic colour that also adorned the anniversary model, better known as the ‘World Champion Beetle’.

Explicit data about this car:

This 1302 S was delivered new to Austria. Its entire ownership history is fully documented - from the original vehicle documents with four registered owners to the current records. The last owner acquired the car in 2009 and continued to take great care of it. Every investment carried out since then is summarised in detail in a separate folder - proof of the exceptional state of preservation and the extensive measures taken to maintain the value and reliability of the vehicle.

Over the years, the car has proven itself at numerous classic car rallies and has demonstrated its reliability time and time again - not just as a collector's item, but as a genuine driver's Beetle with history. As a special extra, the sales price also includes vier originale Stahlsportfelgen enthalten, die das sportliche Erbe dieses Modells unterstreichen.
