VW enthusiast and author, Laurence Meredith, has driven many of today's rarest surviving Volkswagen Beetles. In this model-by-model history Meredith describes their many differences from the driver's point of view. From the oldest surviving Beetle in the UK, a rare Hebmueller, the last 'Splittie' built, and standard production cars from across the Beetle's history, to today's New Beetle, Laurence Meredith delivers his own unique driving impressions. Lavishly illustrated. Recommended.
