A $12,000, 200hp fibre glass Beetle, eh?

Great story, definitely an interesting piece of GM history.

Enough is enough.

Hmm.

Doug. I’m as English as they come (I wore a linen suit on Santa Monica beach when I visited California) and I still love you. No matter what some Dutch chick might think.

Sweet Jesus, I want that car so bad!

I like the way you think, Sir! +1

I’m with UnbelievablyRed, check this out at full res at 1080p.

I’m English and have (unfortunately) become very familiar with Chris Evans and his work. The guy is an intolerable bell-end and is almost certainly the cause of almost all of the problems on new Top Gear. IMHO the new show simply won’t work with him at the helm.

I call this orange is the new black.

COTD!

I’ve never seen one before, so colour me intrigued.
I’d have to lose the roof rack and the wheels, but without those it’s a definite NP for me!

It was a Lancia Beta Berliner for me. I walked past it every day on my way to school as a kid and completely fell in love with the thing. It was parked up getting hammered by the British weather for at least 16 years. Then someone bought the land it was sitting on and my Lancia has never been seen again. :(

Loving your work!

I think Nintendo wish it didn't!

It works both ways mate! You should remember that in the UK we don't get Mustangs, Corvettes, Cadillac CTS-V's etc. I'd take a 2013 Mustang or a CTS-V over a Focus any day of the week. Manufacturers simply won't go to the expense of producing cars for a market where they won't sell in great numbers.
