It's not totally unused, Geezer the cat sleeps in it – he hates modern cars, the smell of the plastic and the huge windows.

I don't expect there'd be a shortage of takers for this little smasher – a few would want the old VW too 😛

Its not stock, but its another oval saved ;)

I'm sure the purists would rather it had been cut up for spares :roll:

Like you say, it´s another oval saved! And actually, an oval in olive drab isn´t far off from reality. The German and Danish Armies used Ovals and had them painted in the then-current shades of matt army green. Other Armed Forces used VW Beetles too, but often they were painted in civilian colours.

Searching information about Beetles in military service - especially post-war.

Thanks for that.

I clicked the right arrow and found the Danish trekker too!
