Precious Metal
I’ve spotted this car for the first time at a Vintage Volkswagen meeting in Belgium. A 1948 Split Beetle from Belgium, all original and unrestored! Amazing, isn’t it? The complete history of this car is known. The car once had an accident (front left side) in the early ’50s but was repaired with correct an original parts by a VW dealer during that time. They did a great job back then because you could not see it was repaired. The rumour goes that the current owner will keep it like this and will never restore it. This is what we call precious metal!

Very nice car! I’m glad to hear that the car will kept as it is. There are already too much (over)restored beetles ;o). Do you have more pictures??
Intresting car, it is important that it isn’t restored. but maybe too much expensive….?
As owner of the car I like to inform you all that I have searched for more than 20 years here in Belgium to find a pré may ’49 beetle as original as possible.
Restoring this car is like trowing away all the years of use, happiness and misery off previous owners.
Restored, it looks than that the car was never used and has no history. I will not restore it !
I love to drive the car regulary in dry weather conditions.
Kindest regards.
