To mark Volkswagen’s decision to cease European production in 1977 they chose to celebrate the occasion by producing 300 1978 model Beetles in Diamond Silver metallic, a unique colour for the final 300.
Since 2013 the car has covered very little mileage until being purchased by the current owner earlier this year, who drove it back from Sutton Coalfield to London with no problem at all.QFiPLCx74OSQAD6Vg4bvOq9Sd1xjILZXBiMvbH1v.jpg512.36 KB
