This charming VW Beetle 1600S is a uniquely South African take on the world’s most famous car. Known for its curved windscreen and dashboard – a design feature exclusive to late-model local variants – the 1600S offers a more modern and refined feel while keeping all the classic Beetle charm.
Finished in a striking metallic green, this car presents well and turns heads with its retro chrome hubcaps, tidy bodywork, and warm tan interior. The original dash and trim pieces are all present, and the seats have been redone in period-correct tones.
Under the boot lid sits the familiar 1600cc air-cooled engine, known for its reliability and simple mechanicals – the perfect companion for sunny weekend drives.
Lovingly cared for and kept in the same family for most of its life, this is more than just a car – it’s part of South Africa’s motoring history.
A collectible, drivable, and lovable slice of nostalgia.
