My Mrs owns this lovely all original 1500S. Its done 84,000 miles and everything is original (apart from a 12v upgrade) including reversing lights, Blaupunkt Radio, etc etc. Service by VW from 65 every three months up to 1981 (when the book ran out of space)

Untouched cars are very hard to find nowdays.

I have a '73 L bug, genuine un-restored (but badly in need of it) ~150k km, geniune one old lady owner from new with VW service history to 70k km.
I even relaced the original rear brake shoes when I got it. :D
My brother has a '54 un-restored bug with sales history, again needs to be restored though. Very :cool:
Both are registered and in use.

Nellie is stock as a rock, apart from ride height, and then my little mods(shifter and so on) but mostly original period accessories.
