The Beetle was bought in 1970 and is driven by my Mum everyday. We are the second owners and Herbie has covered 163 000 genuine miles. Finished in beryl green duco, he is still in excellent original condition having only had some cosmetic restoration over the years. Running gear is still all original 1200 cc and 6 volt system. Herbie is adorned with the side flash with the chrome stars, flying VW bonnet emblem and chrome vents above the engine lid. We have been told that the car was dressed up to be used by the local VW dealer as a display car for the local show when it was new. Herbie shares the garage with my 4 Morris Minors, Rover P4 100, 1965 Hillman Minx Series 5A and a 1964 Humber Vogue Sports. Herbie has in the past won a couple of trophies for Peoples Choice and Best Original at one of the local VW days.
