Up for grabs is a rare 1978 Volkswagen Brasilia, finished in an eye-catching Yellow with a classic Brown interior. This unique air-cooled gem, designed by Volkswagen do Brasil, was intended as a fresh take on the legendary Beetle, offering more space and versatility without losing any of that iconic VW charm. Originally available only in South America, it's an unusual sight on UK roads, adding to its allure among Volkswagen enthusiasts.
This Brasilia has been treated to fresh paintwork and new decals, enhancing its vibrant look, while brand-new wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires complete its retro style. The suspension setup has been updated with a Type 1 beam with adjusters, along with upgraded shocks to enhance handling and stability. Under the hood, this Brasilia has undergone a full mechanical overhaul, making it road-ready and reliable. The front features new disc brakes with pads and calipers, while the rear sports new cylinders, shoes, and all-new hoses. The 1600 engine has been meticulously serviced and benefits from freshly refurbished carbs shipped directly from Brazil—a rare touch for an already special car.
This Brasilia is an exceptional example of a South American classic with modern reliability, making it the ideal choice for any air-cooled enthusiast. And yes, it recently passed a UK MOT, so it’s ready for its next adventure.
