I Bought Simon Glen's Book... VOLKSWAGENS OF THE WORLD... and IT IS Simply the BEST...... [apologies to Tina Turner] Yes, it Must be the BEST book on VWs from around the world. If You are only interested in Beetles sold in Australia... then this book May not be for You... but if You enjoy reading and looking at hundreds of pics of Vehicles made by Volkswagen - All around the world.... You may think We live in the Lucky country... until You See what VWs were made in South America and Africa.... See pics of the Porsche 911 styled Brasil made Karmann Ghias ..... When it comes to Volkswagens & Karmann Vehicles.... Australia Missed out Very Badly.....
Did You know that type 3s were assembled in Australia in 1974, yet production in Germany finished in 1973...
thanks Simon for a job Very Well Done.....
