Volkswagen Beetle

1971 VW Beetle 1302S Cabriolet

Classic Car Hire from Northumbria Classic Car Hire

The Beetle is a cult classic, driving our convertible provides you with the chance to experience one of 21 million beetles produced over 8 decades!

An excellent wedding car, guaranteed to make everyone smile, easy to drive with plenty of room for four.

The first cabriolets were manufactured in 1948 through to 1980. Revised in 1968, the Beetle acquired heavier bumpers, new headlamps with 12v electrics and improved braking and the 1600 engine in 1970. The 1302S has the flat screen of the earlier models, but with front disc brakes, better suspension and the more powerful 1600cc motor it fits in well with modern traffic. Enthusiasts will spot that the dashboard and steering wheel on our beetle have been back dated with a more vintage look of the pre 1970 cars.

Our cabriolet is a similar pearlescent off white colour as the top half of our VW Splitscreen camper with matching two tone off white and beige interior providing a great wedding combination. How about groom and best man self driving the Beetle, with a chauffeur driven camper seating 5/6 guests, a unique offering from Northumbria Classic Car hire! Of course we can offer the Beetle chauffeur driven as well, or the camper as self drive, whatever YOU want!
