It was the first time I had really looked closely at this oddly-named car. You would see them in the street, nice looking, nothing special. Until you look at the boot – the nearest thing to match my X-Trail I could afford then.

The VW Beetle underwent many upgrades during its 65 years of production, but during this time it remained true to its peoples car heritage. Originally launched in South Africa in the 1950’s, the Original VW Beetle soon became a big part of South Africa’s driving culture, and helped shape the memories of many first time drivers.
