The original air-cooled Beetle teeters between cult and classic status, but either way the following for these cars remains huge. Magazines, clubs, web forums, shows and unrivalled parts availability make buying and owning a classic Beetle more attractive than ever. The author traces the Beetle's continuous production run from 1945 to 2003, taking note of the more important specification changes over the years, including the popular Karmann Cabriolet. The process of buying a Beetle is explained, and the author gives a guide to its subsequent care. This book is the perfect companion for beginners and long-term enthusiasts alike.
This is the complete guide to Volkswagen's Transporter, which has now surpassed even the Beetle in popularity, particularly in camper form. The author provides a brief history of the Transporter, through its first three incarnations, between 1950 and 1990, before describing each model in detail. Whole chapters are then dedicated to camper conversions and special models before moving on to discuss the practicalities of buying, owning, maintaining and modifying a Transporter today. This book is the perfect companion for beginners and long-term enthusiasts alike.
