Vehicle description

Highlights and General

For sale is a 1971 VW Variant 1600 imported from Brazil, in a Bordeaux red paint and leather interior.

Highlights

  • Partially restored
  • Investments: Engine overhauled, inspection, conservation work, paint polish.
  • A special piece of Brazilian Volkswagen history.
  • Seller writes: The Volkswagens made in and for Brazil are a story in themselves! Exciting, because we know very little about it here, but also surprising, because one is often amazed to find out why, for example, the development of a VW 1600 based on the Beetle made more economic sense than the 1:1 adoption of the German Type 3? The Brazilian VW history is peppered with remarkable special paths! People will have had their reasons, and the demands of the South American market have produced some very attractive Volkswagens, such as the SP2 or the Karmann-Ghia TC.

Model History

    Ich freu mich wirklich jedes Mal, wenn hier "ungewöhnliche" Autos erscheinen. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich so einen Variant überhaupt schon mal auf der Straße gesehen habe und ein paar Jährchen hab ich schon auf dem Buckel. Tolles Auto!

      Moin Donulf, das ist in DE gar kein Problem. Es kann eine Vollabnahme durchgeführt werden. Danach kann man jederzeit das Fahrzeug zulassen. Alle Infos sonst auch noch mal hier: https://www.tuv.com/germany/de/lp/mobilit%C3%A4t/vollabnahme/main-navigation/importeur/

        Wie kann das Fahrzeug ohne deutsche Zulassung TÜV bis 7/24 haben? Dafür ist sich zwingend mal eine deutsche Zulassung nötig gewesen?

        • 05.10.2023 19:01

          Sorry. Schon gegoogelt. Geht. Wusste ich nicht

          Hallo. Tolles Fahrzeug. Was muss denn noch restauriert werden? Da steht ja "Teilrestauriert" danke für eine Info.

          • 05.10.2023 18:44

            Teilrestauriert heißt in diesem Falle lediglich, dass nicht das gesamte Fahrzeug Frame-Off restauriert worden ist und in alle Einzelteile zerlegt wurde. So wurde das Fahrzeug z.b. nicht komplett entlackt und wieder neu lackiert. Ich hoffe, dass ihnen dies weiterhelfen konnte und wir Ihre Frage schnell beantworten konnten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Ihr Kickdown Team.
