Good afternoon gents;
I am after a 76'er but have a question?
Which is the better car a 75L bug or the 76 in terms of overall enjoyability.
I unloaded my 75L to my 17 year old nephew yesterday.(dumb decision in hindsight).
cheers

The kid wanted the 75L since he was 10, I was given a 59 bug when I was 18 "So what goes around comes around".
Hopefully he will add a few mods before he hands it back. A 76 (Dolphin Blue) has always been on the wish list. Thou I have fond memories of one orange bug thou.
I'll try and hook up a look at this 76Bug
cheers

Hi

Dave and I often sling of at one another, its a bit like squashing ants, he's a soft target. Dave's bug is a good car with all the hard work done.

Its a purist thing, '76 was the last evolution of the Type 1 with the original torsion bar front end. You will get good debates from each side of the fence about which is better. Take it for a drive and see if it drives different, compared with your previous L Bug.

I prefer the '76, I wish I never sold mine !

I have'nt forgot u type 3 (good value) after the 75L sailed pass the blue slip last week.
76 sounds nice just add some nice empi wheels, rear opening windows, stainless exhaust and I'm cruizin in style again.
My 13 yo was really pissed his cousin snaked the 75L (asked for American Muscle car as a replacement?), but was happy again when I showed him the 76 er thou.
Is the bug near St Peters? so it can be viewed.
