1968 Volkswagen Beetle from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Excellent car, take care of them and they last forever I know! Because ive owned one for 38 years.

Faults:

Nothing major has gone wrong with the car, still has the original 1600cc Twin port engine that came with it back in 1968...

General Comments:

I love my Volkswagen beetle, I bought it brand new back in 1968 for $21 thousand I think. its blue and still is original. the one bad thing about it is they don't handle hot hot days very well.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Am I reading this correctly? You've driven over 700 000 km on the original motor? I know beetles are tough, but 700 000 km?

Or did you misplace a zero in there somewhere?

Oh, no sorry its actually 70,000. Oops.
