1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 review from Australia and New Zealand

Motor had 1600cc big bore kit - cooked itself one day, became very low in compression - engine replaced with 1600cc industrial motor.

Jumps out of second gear.

Rust in the floor pan.

Indicators flasher unit had to be replaced.

Rear window shattered for no apparent reason one morning - x file's kinda stuff.

All the seal's in the body are buggered, but you have to remember they are nearly 37 years old.

6 volt head lights are useless may as well drive by candle light.

This is your typical old beatle it had about 15 owners and it most likey there is nothing on the car that has not been tampered with.

Real skill needed to keep this car on the road on a windy day, it's all over the show. - Fittment of some wide wheels improved it's handling.

Parts are getting harder and harder to get.

This car is slow, very slow 0 -100 kph in about 30 seconds.

Chicks love these little cars and they have endless appeal and can go almost anywhere with a good set of grippy tires.
