The Appeal
The Volkswagen Beetle has long been a canvas for customisation, but few examples push the boundaries like this 1982 Mexican-import special build. Created by the specialists at Evaresto, this vehicle transforms the humble Bug into a high-performance machine with a Porsche-inspired theme.
With approximately 180bhp from its extensively modified 2276cc engine, custom air ride suspension, and a bespoke two-seater interior complete with roll cage, this award-winning show car delivers both visual impact and driving thrills in equal measure. It's a special thing, so don't miss this excellent opportunity to make it yours.
