This GT Beetle Rat runs like a dream. Rust-ese and the Road Rat idea appealed to me, people stop and look when parked up, the stickers make for a unique vehicle like no-one else has. The engine has a deep roar and the shine from the engine makes me feel proud to be the owner. the best thing is that it is rare and unique. It comes with a certificate from the Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagon stating that the vehicle identity number and the engine number are the original from the factory.
