Yeah it's a 1303 and I could live without the wheels but there is a lot to like in this. The pictures suggest it's been done pretty well.

However, my heart belongs to another type of Beetle. Ones as straight as this don't come up too often.

Yeah Hooli.

Do you have some sort of macro that inserts that or a similar one when VWs are mentioned as the replies seem somewhat robotic and repetitive?

That 1303 really is something special!
I can’t fault any part of it. Almost the perfect German looker.
That engine would be just amazing in my 912.
I like the ‘67 too, but over here, they are still pretty common place.

I'm not a massive bug fan but I quite like that and think it's pretty cool. Not sure I'd want to spend that much on one though...

There is a swear filter thing I could setup. Always replace T2 with mobile crematoria for starters.
