We already talked a lot about the history of the Volkswagen Beetle in the case of the Maggiolino - our 1977 VW Beetle convertible - but due to its popularity and our eternal fandom, we already knew that it would not be the only Beetle in our fleet. És ez így is lett. 🙂
Piri is a Volkswagen 1300 Coupe Beetle from 1969. At that time, starting in the 1960's the gearbox was completely synchronized, and the ball-headed chassis replaced the suspension pins. The lever index goneand the new indexes have appeared on top of the front fenders. It was factory-equipped with a 1300 cm3 engine, which is 40 HP, but instead it got a 1500 cm3 engine with a 44 HP engine. It underwent a complete renovation, during which it received a beautiful red paint and then a completely new, complete upholstery.
It was also thanks to a coincidence that Piri came to us. We have known her previous owner for a long time; they asked for our help selling the car, and without a moment's hesitation, we immediately "adopted" the little red one into our fleet. 🙂
