1973 Volkswagen Beetle 1303 review from UK and Ireland
"A truly fun and funky family saloon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to have the clutch replaced soon after purchase.
The oil cooler leaked.
General comments?
The car is great fun to drive, it's a 'no-frills' interior but that suits my taste! - my children both love travelling in it and looking out for fellow Beetle lovers - who always give us a wave or a flash of the headlights. We feel part of a friendly group of lovers of this funky little vehicle.
I recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to be just 'one of the crowd'.
Try it and you'll never go back to that Ford!
