This 1955 Volkswagen Oval Beetle is a standout classic that has graced the pages of VolksWorld magazine, showcasing its exceptional build and performance. Displaying 3,937 miles (non-verified), this right-hand-drive (RHD) UK-spec Beetle combines vintage charm with modern enhancements.​
 

The exterior is finished in Nissan Graphite Grey metallic paint, providing a sleek and timeless look. It rides on JGE Torker wheels and features CSP disc brakes on all four corners, paired with a dual circuit master cylinder for enhanced stopping power. An adjustable front gas suspension beam ensures a customisable and smooth ride.​
 

Under the hood lies a powerful 2276cc Type 1 engine, meticulously built by John Maher of JMR Racing, featuring electronic fuel injection for optimal performance. This setup has been recorded accelerating from 0 to 108 mph in just 12 seconds. The power is managed through a Gene Berg 5-speed gearbox conversion, offering precise and responsive gear changes.​
 

Inside, the cabin boasts a stock-style red leather interior crafted by Bernard Newbury, complete with perforated inserts, grey piping, and elongated door pockets. The West of England wool cloth headliner and square weave carpet add to the luxurious feel. Notably, it retains the original RHD batwing steering wheel.​
 

This Beetle was expertly built from the floorpan upwards by Reichspeed in Doncaster, ensuring top-notch craftsmanship throughout.​


This is a real head-turner of a Beetle (and we’ve seen many), and it would easily make a daily driver or a collector's dream come true.
