Hard Cover. Condition: Nr Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Nr Fine. Colour & b/w Illustrations / Photographs (illustrator). Reprint. Dust jacket complete except price clipped. Laminated Boards. 144 pp, Lavishly illustrated by photographs, nearly all in colour, index. WHIICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, the Beetle is quite an amazing car. Despite the fact that it went out of production in the West many years ago, the Bug still plays a massive part in the automotive culture of the 'nineties. The Beetle caught the public's imagination as no other car before it had; no other car has come as close to it since. The sheer innovation of the Bug's engineering and styling gave it a head start, leaving its personality to capture the motoring public's heart, which it did with ease. This is where The Volkswagen Beetle - Vintage, Restored and Customized comes in. Not a factual history of the Bug - that's already been done to death a number of times - the book is a celebration of the car and of the people who love it. It is the celebration of an obsession. Its exuberant illustrations tell stories of complex restoration jobs, of cars abandoned to rust and revived through the dedication and commitment of Beetle fans. They tell about racing Bugs that will happily pit their wits against the fastest Ferrari, and custom Bugs that put even the most exotic superears to shame. There's also a glimpse into the past at how Ferdinand Porsche, inventor of the Volkswagen, struggled to get his dream onto the road and into the hands of ordinary people. And finally, of course, there's a preview of VW's new Concept 1 - the Beetle for the 'nineties - a car which both in concept and production speaks eloquently of a marvellous machine and which at its unveiling stole the limelight at the Detroit Motor Show. But what this book is about, above all other things, is the men, women and children who love their Bugs and to whom driving is never more fun than when it's done to the sweet sound of a flat-four, air-cooled engine.
