1960 Volkswagen Coccinelle 1200 Export Sans réserve Constructeur : 1960 Volkswagen Coccinelle 1200 Export Modèle : Sans réserve Carte Grise : Titre de circulation allemand N° Chassis : Châssis n° 3145748 Moteur n° 3859159 - Vendue neuve en Suède - Etat d’origine remarquable - Nombreux travaux chez le spécialiste Memminger - Sans réserve   Au tournant des années 60, c’est la marque de poids lourds Scania qui se chargeait de la distribution des Volkswagen en Suède. Ainsi que le confirment les copies de documents d’époque, c’est l’agent Scania de Stockholm qui a vendu cet exemplaire neuf, en juin 1960. De couleur « Gris Gallet L440 », il est demeuré en Suède jusqu’en 2011, année de son achat par un collectionneur allemand. C’est auprès de ce dernier que Guido Hommel en a fait l’acquisition, séduit par l’état de préservation exceptionnel de cette intéressante version. En effet, la carrosserie n’a jamais été repeinte, la sellerie est d’origine, tandis que les moquettes ont été refaites. Avant son achat, la voiture avait bénéficié d’importants travaux chez le spécialiste Memminger : révision du moteur et de la boîte de vitesses, restauration de tous les trains roulants et traitement des soubassements. Il suffit de se pencher sous la voiture pour constater la qualité du travail effectué. Affichant 89 904 km au compteur lors de notre examen, cette superbe coccinelle est équipée d’un autoradio Blaupunkt d’époque fonctionnel et d’appuie-têtes accessoires ; elle a en outre bénéficié d’une expertise en 2024. Avec sa superbe patine et sa mécanique entièrement revue, cette Coccinelle sera appréciée des connaisseurs.
