One of 80 cars ever built by VW "Pilote Department" in Puebla, exclusively for the United Arab Emirates. Information from sightings, owners, and emails estimate around 15 of these cars being left over – some in catastrophic condition – are still located in scrapyards somewhere in the Middle East. Of these, only 3 are known to be in original condition, with service records and matching numbers. Registered in Germany and with a German TÜV inspection certificate, there is only this one car - another nice car in Spain is also known to exist.

A dream turned to reality

This "MILLENNIUM CUP EDITION" Beetle has been in German ownership since 2008. It was purchased, registered, and driven in Dubai and imported to Germany in 2010.
Ever since first seeing it in Abu Dhabi in 2001 upon its arrival at the Al & Son's car warehouse in Mussaffah, it has been a lifelong dream!
Imported from the UAE, the car received a full inspection from the German TÜV and has only been driven approximately 200 km since.
(Current TÜV till 09/2027).

Deutschland, Millennium, Edition, Beetle, Cup

** The term "complete" refers, for example, to the following points:

Original paint (…with unpainted front and rear spoilers – there probably isn't a single car left. This is due to the fact that the Emirates have very high curbs, high speed bumps, and sometimes non-standard entrances and exits in shopping malls, parkdecks and many other buildings, which repeatedly prove to be a trap for these cars and other sports cars!
Original stickers on the doors – these were repeatedly removed during painting, could not be replaced, OR even had to be removed by the local Road Authority inspection (TÜV) in the Emirates because stickers were not allowed on private cars those days! ... see inspection report under "Problem Cars"! Of course, there was an exception for princes/sheiks :)
Original engines - not tuned OR swapped!
Matching Numbers (Original VIN ID & Serial Numbers of Engine & Transmission)
Original spoiler types - Body Kit!
Original rims - with VW Racing lettering
Original exhaust - VW Racing - with E1 marking
Original Service booklets
Aluminum cover cap for the vase holder hole behind the steering wheel
Standard, distinctive Road Authority stickers from Salik
...and many more...
