The Beetle’s continuous production run from 1945 to 2003 is highlighted, with pertinent details of the more important changes made to its specification over the years being carefully recorded. The popular Karmann Cabriolet version of the Beetle is also included. The authors explain how to buy the ideal Beetle, and provide a guide to its subsequent care and maintenance. Modifying a Beetle with a larger engine, lowered suspension, cosmetic changes and interior refurbishment is also outlined.
