Andy W Well, you'll be intrigued to know that my RT was one of the four used in the making of Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday film (they all sported the same registration plates though as they were supposed to be the same London bus). Needless to say I often get called Cliff Richard by people when they see me around in the big ol' bus This bus has been used in a few TV sitcoms, The Good Life for example. Duplicate vehicles are often used in such films. I know that a few Beetles were used in each Herbie film, six on average I think unless someone here knows otherwise. I wonder how many Beetles will be used in the Rattletrap Story when it eventually gets made Edited by user 18 April 2017 19:12:21(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Why ever did Volkswagen GB not pick up on this spelling twist for their New Beetle. All those cleaver ad people in the '70s missed it too, unless someone knows different If you want to take this up for the next New Beetle, Volkswagen GB, a nice cheque to the Rattletrap Museum first please Edited by user 15 July 2017 15:52:24(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
