Description
1966 White Wolfsburg Edition 1300 VW Beetle
Air-cooled VW fans will no doubt have spotted that the 1966 Beetle 1300 occupies a sweet spot in the lineage. With its 1. 3-litre engine offering a useful step up from the earlier 1200, it delivers enough performance to feel confident on today's roads while retaining the mechanical simplicity that has made the Beetle one of the most popular cars ever produced. Finding a sound example after nearly sixty years is no small feat, rust has claimed many, and good ones are becoming genuinely scarce.
