Summary
This 23-window Deluxe Samba was imported from the US and has been with its current owner since 1996, reportedly displayed in a museum and featured in commercials and films including the 2008 release The Magic Hour. It is powered by a replacement 1,584cc flat-four retrofitted circa 1999, mated to a four-speed manual transaxle, and shows 39k miles. Noted flaws include a leaking retractable cloth sunroof, a scratch on the left-rear fender, loose headliner upholstery, and blemished rear panels.
