A truly exceptional example of Volkswagen’s most iconic shape—this 1957 LHD VW Beetle Cabriolet is finished in rare factory L232 Iris Blue, paired with a deep blue-black convertible hood and a refined sense of quiet confidence. 


Originally from San Francisco, this four-seater soft-top embodies the timeless romance of open-air motoring with all the original charm of mid-century German engineering.
 

Displaying 70,989 miles (non-verified), this car remains an elegant survivor, restored and maintained with the utmost care and attention to detail. Its 1200cc engine keeps things pure and correct, while a host of rare factory-fitted extras make this particular Cabriolet a standout for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
 

Slide behind the wheel and you’ll notice its period MPH speedometer, laminated windscreen, and lockable rear flap handle—all rare touches that speak volumes about its provenance. It also comes equipped with bumpers featuring factory guards and the highly sought-after larger reflectors within the brake lights—a subtle but key factory option from the era.
 

The hood stows neatly beneath a matching convertible cover (registration 763 XVT), completing the classic silhouette. Whether you're after a concours-ready collector’s piece or a sublime weekend cruiser, this '57 Cabriolet delivers on every count.
 

Originally built for the sun-soaked boulevards of California, this Bug remains solid and well-preserved—a true testament to its dry-climate heritage.
