LOT 126

1974 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi

A red light, a rebuilt title and a blue light on the paperwork. The most disclosed lot in the sale, and deliberately so.

Paperwork and history

Title
Rebuilt title. Previously branded following a structural loss. Branding is permanent and travels with the vehicle.
Records
None.
Odometer
Reading is not the vehicle's actual distance and is disclosed as such.

Red light means as-is. There is no arbitration, on anything, including things this report does not mention. That is the trade-off a red light makes explicit.

It also carries a blue light: the title is not physically here. We say when we expect it and we do not promise a date we cannot control.

A vehicle like this is a project, and pricing it as anything else does the buyer no favours.
