17 - VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1303 L. Year: 11/29/1974. Serial No.: 1552012939. French vehicle registration certificate. Body style: Convertible. Color: White. Mileage: 91,361 km. The 1303 L convertible, built by Karmann, is one of the final iterations of the iconic classic Beetle produced in the early 1970s. Particularly prized for its improved comfort, curved windshield, and convertible body style, it offers better handling than its predecessors as well as a more spacious trunk. The 1303 L convertible has become a highly sought-after classic due to its ease of maintenance—thanks to simple mechanics and the wide availability of parts—as well as the sense of belonging to a strong community of enthusiasts. It was the last version manufactured in Germany before production ceased in 1980. This version is equipped with a rear-mounted, air-cooled, 4-cylinder flat engine with a displacement of 1,285 cc. The vehicle shown is in good cosmetic condition with black faux-leather upholstery and a black vinyl soft top. The mechanical components are in good condition and have been regularly maintained. A technical inspection dated June 17, 2026, noted corrosion on the chassis; restoration will need to be considered.
