** WITHDRAWN ** 1974 VW Jeans Beetle

The 1974 Jeans Beetle was a 1200cc 34hp based model with Tunisian Yellow paintwork, 4.5j x 15 GT sports wheels, side body and engine cover stripes, denim seat covers with coloured stitching and pockets in the back rests and heated rear window, the trim mouldings were in black and all European models were fitted with a MW/VHF radio.

This limited edition VW Beetle really is a jack of all trades, capable of tackling all the tasks any person may ask of a car, we suspect the real reason that this 1930s designed car was still Mexico's best seller some distance into the 21st century was that it is close to indestructible. The little flat four motor fires up with its inimitable ticking sound just as if it were new and there's plenty of urge from the 1300cc engine.

Although hardly luxurious this Jeans Beetle interior is comfortable. The driving position is good, the sloping bonnet gives exceptionally forward vision, the dashboard layout is simplicity itself, this Beetle feels solid and ready to go about its daily chores

Sold with an MOT until May 2014 this limited edition Beetle is a roadworthy, robust small car with bags of charm and character, it gives good performance without effort, is easy to maintain and has a cult following like no other car on earth.
