1970 Volkswagen Beetle 1.3 petrol

Summary:

Good memories, classic Beetle

Faults:

Just about everything, but major rust killed it off when it was 18 years old. This was the death of many Beetles.

General Comments:

An interesting first car, I loved this thing despite its faults. Bright red classic Beetle. Had hints of blue paint elsewhere, it was clearly resprayed.

1.3 was slow and not that economical.

Brutal in winter, cramped cold interior.

Passers by loved it, but clearly never owned one!

Iconic shape and design.

Would love another today as a project car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
