Vehicle description
As a German built Iconic peoples car, the story of the Beetle is well known; it was initially designed to provide
cheap transport for the hard working German masses. Built in very small numbers before and during World War II, the Beetle literally rose from the ashes of Volkswagen's bombed-out Wolfsburg factory to become an instant success in Europe, Britain, America and virtually every other country in the world.

It was this constant development and attention to detail that allowed production of the Beetle to race past the 15,000,000 mark, earning it
the title of the best-selling car of all time.
