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