You may be lucky to find a one owner beetle somewhere...

Did You have seat belts on?

Take care mate

Cars can be replaced (as much as we love them) but bodies not so easy

Ouch, not a nice sight. Hope you are okay. Sad to see a bug in this state 🙁

Looks like a side swipe, was it another car or one of those silly lamp posts?

Not trying to be callous but i reckon this should be a positive post about how well that Beetle took such a big hit.

You did very well getting out of that with a (big) bang on the head. There are safety experts around that reckon we should all be wearing helmets in stock current model cars.

Your beetle did a very good job looking after you for it's age.

Regards,

Matt.
