1952 VW Beetle 11G Sunroof For Sale
In the hierarchy of the world of VW collectors, a "crotch cooler" Split ragtop
is right up near the top of the heap for sure.
This freshly and fully restored example is a pretty stellar example.
It is a genuine real deal "11G" sunroof car as confirmed by Volkswagen in Wolfsburg.
Painted in the original color of Sand Beige.
The restoration is of very good quality with a nice attention to detail
and the car has been fitted with a variety of period NOS accessories , some of which are very desirable.
The car was originally delivered to Berlin Germany and at some point made it to its current home in
Toronto Ontario Canada. The current owner is the one that handled the restoration and the results are obvious...its dreamy.
The large brake light may seem a little overkill, but it makes sense in today's world.
The factory brake lights are barely seen...this big ol light New Old Stock Bosch unit is great.
The small reflectors above the taillights were installed in period and add further visibility.
The lighted "D" plate also is a nice touch.
The 25 horse engine is super clean and runs like a top.
I am seeing all the right stuff in here like the "star" coil, "D" regulator and big nut generator.
The riser on the carb base is a part of an oiler system that the owner sourced for the car but has not yet installed.
Very clean and well detailed in here.
Finish on the engine tins is not over-done.
Engine case and finishes look fantastic.
Wiring looks awesome
The same cleanliness and attention to detail continues underneath the car.
Beautiful!
Far better than new I would say.
Stellar
Hard to imagine finding anything cleaner than this!
Under the front hood is well detailed of course.
Matching spare wheel and tire
Restored jack
Super straight and clean in here
Backside of the dash looks superb.
Correct wiring, nice finishes and details.
this is a concours-ready car.
Sweet tool roll, manuals, spare bulbs box, "fuel gauge"stick.
So fun to see these little details...icing on the cake with a car like this.
Fantastic certification from VW showing the production date, the originally equipped sunroof
and most amazingly, the original numbers matching engine!!

The glove box doors, with clock on the passenger side are awesome!
The Lorenz radio is absolutely killer!
Interior is impressive and is done in the correct striped material with the bolster pillows.
Shifter ashtray is another sweet little accessory
by Rosenthal, same manufacturer as the flower vase.
Seats look impressive
Restored steering wheel is wonderful.
The vintage mileage counter is also another neat accessory.
Carpets are the correct German square weave and look to be very well fitted.
Locking hood handle, accessory fog light switch, high beam pedal button...lots of cool stuff.
Even the battery has a correct period logo!
This is a really nicely done restoration for sure.
The car has been shown and has done quite well indeed.
Best in class at the 2018 Cobble Beach Concours d Elegance is one great accomplishment.
I am sure the car will continue to show well wherever it goes in its life.
On the concours lawn or in your private garage, this is a car to be very proud of.
In closing this is a sweet one!
Fully and freshly restored to show level inside, outside and underside.
