For Sale: 1948 Swiss Split Beetle
This is a nearly perfect and very original 10/48 deluxe Beetle that’s up for sale on TheSamba.com. The car was one of the first officially exported Beetles to Switzerland (AMAG) in 10/48. It was in regular use no longer than approx. the late ’60s. In the mid ’70s the car was restored by a founder of the Swiss Split Window club. At this time the Beetle had only done 31000 km! So it is no wonder the car was very complete and had nearly no rust. There is no new metal welded in! Nearly all the parts were still in place. The engine, gearbox, front axle all have matching numbers. Since completion of the restoration in 76/77 with repainting it with its initial dark blue colour and complete rebuild of all mechanical parts using NOS parts the last owner (ownership 1975-2008) had only driven 700 km (!). It has never seen rain and was parked in a climate controlled show room. Underneath it is as clean as the outside paint and is waxoiled. The speedo now reads a little more than original 32000 km. This Split was not shown at any VW meeting since ever except at the local autumn meeting of the German Split Window club in Munich 2008 where it ran down a storm. In the early ’90s it was shown at a special display at the famous Geneva Auto Show.
At the moment this car is located in Munich, Germany.
