VW BEETLE
The Beetle is unique. Many cars are certainly more powerful, more comfortable, more economical and better suited to modern driving conditions, but none holds the same fascination as the Beetle. Robust engineering, classless status and depth of character made the Beetle one of the world's biggest-selling cars. And just like the 21 million people who have bought new Beetles, today's classic car enthusiasts are taking these individualistic cars to their hearts in ever-increasing numbers all over the world.
For this band of followers, as well as potential converts, this updated and expanded edition of Original VW Beetle is the essential companion to these timeless classics. Its aim is to reveal, in words and colour photographs, how the Beetle evolved through the years of full-scale European production, between 1945 and 1978, with additional chapters now covering Mexican production through to the present day and the latest front-engine 'New Beetle'. Drawing from factory production records and catalogues, as well as the accumulated knowledge of a committed author, this book provides a detailed specification survey of the Beetle.
It is extraordinary how comprehensively the Beetle was developed. When you realise that a modem Mexican Beetle shares not a single component with the first post-war cars to emerge from VW's Wolfsburg factory, you begin to understand the enormity of the task of detailing year-by-year modifications. But Beetle enthusiasts will admire the way every change of consequence is explained in this book.
Accompanying the authoritative text are over 280 specially commissioned colour photographs showing every significant permutation of Beetle specification in outstanding detail. A painstaking search for the right cars has resulted in 32 Beetles of the highest quality and originality being featured in this book. The superb photographs, which are both informative and artistic, provide a valuable reference source.
An attractive and thorough guide to the world's best-selling car. Original VW Beetle is indispensable for all owners, restorers, buyers and enthusiasts. Vissza
