Seller's comments about 1950' Volkswagen Käfe "Brezel"

- Volkswagen certificate - Documented complete restoration - Collector's vehicle - First-class condition Export model: Export models of the VW Beetle were characterised by significantly higher-quality equipment. For example, more comfortable seats were installed, dashboards and steering wheels were better finished and chrome trim strips were used instead of simple rubber mouldings. Door openers and bumpers were also given a chrome-plated finish, and the headliner was finished in fabric. Description: The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best-known icons of post-war German automobile construction. The models with split rear window - popularly known as the "Pretzel Beetle" - were produced from 1945 to March 1953 and are particularly sought-after today as early model years. The example offered here was delivered on 19 December 1950 via the Raffay company in Hamburg and is in outstandingly restored collector's condition. The vehicle was in the possession of one owner for over three decades, who subjected it to an extensive, professional and complete restoration. The work carried out is extensively documented and was completed in 2019. The vehicle is in first-class collector's condition, restored and impresses with its high-quality, true-to-original restoration.
