Betty the 1967 Beetle in Java green! Fully restored between 2015 to 2018.




Beautiful!!! I always wished they bought out a modern Beetle R with 300bhp, that would have been ace! I think it would have sold well.

This one is the 1500cc 44hp version with disc brakes on the front for extra stopping power! So not far off being a Beetle R really...  :grin:

Love the Beetle  :cool:
Proper labour of love it must’ve been to restore too.


As for the Beetle R, they did an RSI Beetle many years ago, very limited LHD only production using a 3.2 VR6

They did do a Beetle Turbo too towards the end of its life so a shame they didn’t use the Golf R 2.0 even if it would have been FWD like the Scirocco R
