Content description.....

The VW Beetle is one of the best-loved of all classic cars, with many thousands preserved across the world, many in regular use. Over the years countless changes were introduced, together making a mid sixties Beetle, for instance, very different from one built in the mid-50s, or mid-70s, despite the obvious similarities. - -- With the aid of hundreds of full colour photographs this book documents all the Beetle's specification changes and model differences during the classic period 1949-67, making it possible to determine the original specification and fittings of any Beetle from this period. The specification content of this book provide or even extend that of 'Original VW Beetle' (A much loved title now out of print) whilst adding considerable historical detail to complete the story of the early Volkswagen Beetle saloon and Cabrio. A 'restorers' MUST HAVE. -- -- A note to British enthusiasts, some of the best examples of VW Beetles on the scene here in Britain are shown in this book. Many of them belonging to members of the Historic Volkswagen Club whos web site can be visited at www.historicvws.org.uk
