Written by Malcolm Bobbitt - whose companion Volkswagen titles cover
the Karmann Ghia coupé and convertible, and possibly the greatest
classic of all time, the VW Bus - this new edition of the Volkswagen
Beetle Cabriolet chronicles the history of this practical and
sought-after classic. The author traces the Beetle Cabrio's ancestry and
development from its pre-war origins through to 1980, by which time more
than 330,000 models had been built, and up to the present day when in
excess of 228,000 New Beetle cabriolets have been sold worldwide. As the
car's engineering quality has ensured a very high survival rate, this
book is also a guide to Beetle Cabrio ownership, providing buying
advice, specifications, and information on customizing.
