Alkuperäiset käyttöohje- ja huoltokirjat. Museoajoneuvo. Katsastus voimassa 06/2027 16 800 € Volkswagen Typ 1, eli ”Kupla” sai alkunsa vuoden 1934 Berliinin autonäyttelyn avajaisissa. Adolf Hitler halusi tarjota saksalaisille edullisen henkilöautomallin, johon tavallisilla kansalaisilla olisi varaa. Tavoitteena oli jouhevoittaa Saksan autoistumista. Kriteereiksi asetettiin, että autoon tuli sopia viisihenkinen perhe, jota auton tuli jaksaa kuljettaa 30 asteen mäet ja moottoriteitä sadan kilometrin tuntivauhtia. Auton tuli kestää myös talviset olosuhteet ja kulutuksen tuli olla korkeintaan kahdeksan litraa sataa kilometriä kohden. Kaiken tämän mahdollistava perheauto saisi maksaa korkeintaan tuhat valtakunnan markkaa. Tehtävän otti vastaan itävaltalainen Ferdinand Porsche, jolla oli kokemusta muun muassa NSU:n ja Zündappin suunnittelusta. Porsche varasti Kuplaa varten vaikutteita ja teknisiä innovaatioita erityisesti Tsekkoslovakialaisesta Tatrasta, jonka valmistus loppui Saksan miehitettyä Tsekkoslovakian sudeteettialueet 1938. Samana vuonna alkoi Volkswagen Typ 1:n valmistus. Kuplasta tuli menestys. Sen tunnusomaisia piirteitä ovat muotoilun lisäksi kantava pohjalevy ja erillinen kori, nelisylinterinen ja nelitahtinen, ilmajäähdytteinen bokseri- eli vastaiskumoottori. Jousitus oli toteutettu vääntösauvoin. Taakse sijoitettu moottori ja aikakaudelle suuret 15 tuumaiset pyörät tekivät Kuplasta hyvän etenijän lumihangessa. Kansanauto -nimellä esitellystä perheautosta tuli suosittu myös Suomessa, johon autoa tuotiin vuodesta 1950 alkaen. Myös Suomessa koottiin 48 Kuplaa Heinolassa Wihurin tehtaalla. Tämä vuoden 1959 Volkswagen on myyty vuonna 1959 B.Malmsten -nimiselle herralle Espooseen. Ensimmäinen omistaja piti autoa 35 vuotta, kunnes myi sen äidilleen elokuussa 1994. Sen jälkeen auto on ollut kahdella harrastajalla, joista nykyisellä omistajallaan viimeiset kymmenen vuotta. Auton alkuperäiset huolto- ja käyttöohjekirjat ovat tallella. Tankkaukset on merkitty pitkältä ajanjaksolta ruutuvihkoon. Auto on säilynyt ryhdikkäässä, entisöimättömässä alkuperäiskunnossa. Perimätietojen mukaan maalipinta on vasenta takalokasuojaa lukuunottamatta alkuperäinen ja kori hitsaamaton. Sisusta on alkuperäinen, hienossa kunnossa säilynyt vaalea kangasverhoilu, vihrein vinyyliosin. Volkkari toimii hienosti ja on helppo ja vaivaton ajaa. Auto on rekisteröity museoajoneuvoksi, seuraava katsastus kesäkuussa 2027. Kupla sijaitsee Kirkkonumella. Esittelyt sopimuksen mukaan.

Ownership history known, 4 owners. Original user manual and service book. Historic vehicle. Inspection valid 06/2027 16 800 € The Volkswagen Typ 1, or "Beetle", originated at the opening of the 1934 Berlin Motor Show. Adolf Hitler wanted to offer the Germans an affordable car model that ordinary citizens could afford. The goal was to increase number of cars on German roads. The criteria was that the car had to fit a family of five, and that the car could handle 30-degree hills and highways at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour. The car had to also withstand winter conditions and the consumption had to be no more than eight liters per hundred kilometers. A family car that enables all this should cost no more than a thousand reichsmarkts. The task was taken on by the Austrian Ferdinand Porsche, who had experience in the design of NSU and Zündapp, among others. For the first ever Volkswagen, Porsche stole influences and technical innovations especially from the Czechoslovak Tatra, whose production stopped after the German occupation of the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland in 1938. The same year, the production of the Volkswagen Typ 1 began. The Beetle became a success. In addition to its design, its characteristic features include a base plate with a separate body, a four-cylinder and four-stroke, air-cooled boxer engine. The suspension was implemented with torsion bars. The rear-mounted engine and large 15-inch wheels for the era made the Beetle as a good car to drive also in the snow. Introduced under the name Kansanauto, the family car also became popular in Finland, where Beetles were imported from 1950. Also in Finland, 48 Beetles were assembled in Heinola at the Wihuri factory. This ‘1959 Volkswagen was sold as new to gentleman named B.Malmsten in Espoo. The first owner kept the car for 35 years, until he sold it to his mother in August 1994. Since then, the car has been owned by two car enthusiasts, the current owner for the last ten years. The car's original service and instruction manuals are preserved. Refuelings have been recorded in a checkered booklet over a long period of time. The car has been preserved in neat, original, unrestored condition. According to historical information, the body is unwelded and the paintwork original except for the left rear fender. The interior has original, light fabric upholstery in excellent condition, with green vinyl parts. Beetle starts, runs and drives great and is easy and effortless to drive.
