This 1966 Beetle is a really well-finished example that keeps all the charm and character of a classic Volkswagen while being genuinely enjoyable to use today. Finished in bright red with plenty of chrome detail, it has the proper classic Beetle look and gets attention everywhere it goes.
The upgraded 1500cc engine gives the car a bit more life on the road, while the lowered stance and Wide 5 Radar wheels finish the look perfectly without taking away from the comfort of the car.
Inside, the retrimmed interior is clean and simple, with a Bluetooth sound system and subwoofer neatly fitted behind the rear seats so you can actually enjoy driving it on longer trips. The car has also recently been serviced and is ready to drive away and enjoy straight away.
Like every Evergreen Classics car, this Beetle has also been prepared with the future in mind. The development work for a full EV conversion has already been completed, meaning the next owner has the option to keep the car petrol powered exactly as it is, or convert it later on if they choose.

What to expect
The conversion replaces the traditional petrol drivetrain with a carefully engineered electric system that fits neatly within the existing structure of the Beetle. The goal is not to change what makes the car special, but to improve how it drives day to day.
Performance becomes smoother and more responsive, with instant acceleration and quiet operation. Charging is straightforward, whether at home or on the public network, and the car becomes significantly cheaper and simpler to run.
Everything is designed to feel familiar from the outside, while completely modern underneath. The result is a classic car that keeps its original look and character, but drives like something far more current when the owner chooses to make the switch.
