This is a gorgeous little car in great mechanical condition and it's a knock-out visually. Most of all, it's fun to drive.
It was totally restored two years ago and has absolutely no rust anywhere. It's been garaged ever since and has been kept smoke-free and driven very little, which is why we're letting it go. When we started the restoration (total disassembly) we obtained a "birth certificate" from the Volkswagen Automuseum in Wolfsburg giving the data on the day of manufacture, all the mechanical specs, the original paint color and the color of the top. It's as close to original as possible. It has a rebuilt engine with only about 2,000 miles on it, so it runs like a new car. Beside the new paint, new top and new boot, the entire interior is new: new door panels, new carpeting, new windshield, new alternator plus custom chrome wheels but the original wheels are available. It has brand new custom bucket seats available (I put the original seats back in), too. The original radio works fine and it has a good battery; the tires have 70% of the tread left. The engine is the original 1600 cc, with fuel injection. It starts and runs perfectly. Mechanically, it's excellent and needs no work - it's ready to go!
All the records and an owner's manual are included as well as a half dozen VW books, extra back seat cover, door panels and tail lights. It has a small crack in the vinyl of the dashboard and a little dimple in the driver's door just in front of the handle (hard to see). See the photos. We added wind diverters (easily removed) to the seat head rests. We live in a remote location but will cooperate with shipping.
All-in-all, the driving experience is more fun than many new cars can offer.

Audi's Project Artemis woes could delay range of VW Group EVs
Tue, Jul 19 2022Two years ago, Audi's then new CEO Markus Duesmann announced his first big initiative called Project Artemis. The plan's marquee component is "to implement a new lighthouse project for Audi in record time," being "a highly efficient electric car scheduled to be on the road as early as 2024" on a brand new platform that would be shared with Porsche and Bentley. An ex-VW and -Porsche man named Alex Hitzinger, who'd also spent time at Apple working on the tech company's electric car, was brought on board to lead Project Artemis and come up with new ideas. Parent Volkswagen Group said it wanted to become "as agile as in a racing team," removing the bureaucratic molasses and bottlenecks interfering with getting the best product on the road in the best time. However, in any grand venture, failure comes before success. Automobilwoche reports that Artemis is struggling through issues large enough to push the product plans back by years. The issue, as it was with the ID.3 lineup on the eve of that car's launch, is software. Well, that's the latest, largest problem; Artemis has already been through copious struggles before getting to the software bit. Two months after Hitzinger came on, in December 2020, VW raised its EV volume target from 50% to 70% by 2030. That necessitated a rethink of the VW Group's entire platform strategy considering the far greater production scale. Hitzinger only lasted six months in the job, ousted in May 2021, supposedly because Audi believed his ideas were "not suitable for profitable series production" among other reasons. By that time, the pace of software development was already said to be six months behind schedule, with the Car.Software division working on VW.OS 2.0 "not yet running at the speed hoped for." Internal frictions were noteworthy and costly as well. VW's commercial division plant in Hanover was meant to build Artemis vehicles for Audi, Porsche and Bentley, but Automobilwoche reported in January of this year that Porsche paid a ""small three-digit million amount" — like $100 million or so — to get out of the deal mandating its vehicles come from the Hanover facility.  So Audi effectively brought Artemis in-house to lead vehicle development, and Car.Software turned into Cariad to get VW.OS and VW.AC, which stands for Automotive Cloud, to market. The first Audi vehicle under Project Artemis was planned to arrive by the end of 2024, a production version of the Grandsphere concept.
