The appeal
The 1962 Volkswagen Beetle is an iconic car - perhaps one of the most recognisable on the planet. So it's not surprising that, due to their sheer numbers, so many Beetles have been taken on by enthusiasts for restoration and tuning.
This is exactly the case with this beautifully restored example, fitted with a Porsche engine and gearbox, which combines the charm of two German motoring legends. The attention to detail in the restoration is evident in the high quality full grain aniline leather upholstery and durable stainless steel chrome parts, all of which combine to create a unique vehicle perfect for the discerning collector who appreciates the charm of a classic Beetle and the performance of a Porsche.
