  • Rare and desirable early ‘Split-Window’ Type 1 Beetle
  • Completed by the factory in February 1951 and delivered new to Baden-Baden, Germany
  • Powered by its matching-numbers 1.1-litre engine, rated for 25 PS
  • Accompanied by a certificate issued by Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen to verify its authenticity
  • A prime contender for restoration

The double-pane window that frames the rear profile of the Volkswagen Beetle offered here denotes an earlier example from the model’s lengthy run. After series production began in 1945, some 21.5 million Beetles were sold worldwide, making it the most popular car made from a single platform of all time. While Volkswagen made constant revisions and updates to the earliest versions of the Type 1, the introduction of the one-piece ‘Oval’ rear window for models made from March 1953 onwards marked a major change to clearly differentiate the earlier ‘Split-Window’ cars (called “Brezelkäfer” in Germany) which are coveted by collectors.

This car was built on 9 February 1951 and left the factory days later, noted as 14 February. The Volkswagen was originally finished in Black and destined for Volkswagen-Partner Gerstenmaier of Baden-Baden, Germany. Though the car’s history for the following decades is not known, it is thought that the Beetle was repainted in “Panzergrau” for an on-screen film appearance in the 1980s. The car joined The Aumann Collection in June 2013, when it was acquired by the consignor at a French auction.

Purchased in a poor condition, Mr Aumann made attempts to begin this car’s restoration (invoices are available to view on file for cosmetic and mechanical repairs). While the Volkswagen can be enjoyed in its current form, the car does still require finishing work to get to a good standard.

Die zwei einzelnen Heckfenster dieses Volkswagen Käfer lassen ihn als ein sehr frühes Exemplar in der langen Laufbahn dieses Modells erkennen. Nach Produktionsbeginn 1945 wurden weltweit rund 21,5 Millionen in aller Welt verkauft, was ihn zum beliebtesten auf einer gleichen Plattform basierenden Automobil aller Zeiten macht. Und während Volkswagen den Käfer beständig in vielen Details verbesserte, machte der 1953 vollführte Schritt vom Brezelfenster zum ovalen einteiligen Heckfenster doch eine der deutlichsten Veränderungen in der Käfer Geschichte aus.

Dieser Wagen wurde am 9. Februar 1951 gebaut und verließ das Werk wenige Tage später, den Unterlagen zufolge am 14. Februar. Ursprünglich in Schwarz lackiert, wurde der Zweitürer an den Volkswagen-Händler Gerstenmaier in Baden-Baden ausgeliefert. Obwohl die frühe Geschichte dieses Käfers nicht bekannt ist, wird davon ausgegangen, dass er Anfang der 1980 Jahre für die Teilnahme an einem Film in „Panzergrau“ lackiert wurde. Im Juni 2013 wurde der Wagen in die Sammlung Aumann aufgenommen, als ihn der Einlieferer bei einer Auktion in Frankreich ersteigern konnte.

Nach dem Kauf des Wagens in schlechtem Zustand machte sich Herr Aumann daran, mit einer Restaurierung zu beginnen (Rechnung über Arbeiten an Technik und Optik lassen sich in den Unterlagen einsehen). Der Wagen benötigt einige Abschlussarbeiten, um in einen guten Zustand zu kommen.
