Complete Beetle engines

Available exclusively from VW Heritage are the re-manufactured SSP air-cooled Beetle engine range. Produced to the same exacting standards as our all new Volkswagen Beetle engines, the re-manufactured Beetle engine range offers versions not available as a brand new option, and represent fantastic value for money for those rebuilding a classic air-cooled Beetle on a budget. Choose from air-cooled single-port and twin-port VW engines in 1200cc, 1300cc, 1500cc and 1600cc capacities.

Both our brand new SSP Volkswagen Beetle engines and re-manufactured SSP air-cooled Beetle motors are covered by our market leading two-year warranty.
