A classic Volkswagen Beetle that comes complete with 60-year-old ski holders and skis is expected to sell for almost £70,000 at auction.
The 1952 Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle is one of the most original models to come onto the market in recent times.
It was one of the last 'split rear screen' cars produced, with VW records stating it rolled off the production line on March 4, 1952 and was dispatched to Sweden.
