Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet Bewertungen

Detailed commentary explains what's changed from model to model, and fabulous advertising imagery reminds us of the car's famous history. Auto Express Well-illustrated and full of useful stats. Recommended. Classic Car mag.net Overall, this book provides a fascinating and in-depth look at the Beetle Cabriolet from the very beginning and has something for everyone - from the casual enthusiast right down to the hard-core detail-studying enthusiast, and everyone in between. Air Monkeys Magazine A good read for Beetle fans, I thought a real strength of the book is in photos of unusual variants and reproductions of some great advertising and brochures for the models, whose changes over the years are fully described. New Zealand Classic Car Although not a buyer's guide, [...] if you are considering buying a VW Beetle Cabriolet or already are enjoying one, I would definitely recommend this book as an addition to your library.
