I'm sorry, I hope I have caused an argument. I only asked a simple question and I really appreciate all the answers :-(

No of course not, there is always a degree of disagreement about most things, mostly when its gone off topic!Yes modern Beetles do indeed have a cambelt, will that do!

OP I know someone who has had a modern VW Beetle for over 7 years and loves it.
I just wouldn't touch any VW from Asia or any that did not have full service papers.

The jazzman will probably advise you to buy a Fiat Multipla

Likewise, my '73 has a small amount of rust (none at all anywhere on the floor) and it is pretty damn good for its age. My 68 is rust free but thats a whole another story. The '73 is a daily driver but truthfully it is maintenance intensive but it is all simple easy stuff to keep it humming along. I can't think of anything that would break that I wouldn't be able to fix in an afternoon. Rather more maintenance and less breakdowns in an old beetle than vice versa in a new one!

You're welcome - and it's a silver one too lol

When I first read of them on here, I had to look them up as I'd never heard of them.
I don't think my eyes have recovered yet - sorry Jazz but they are seriously fugly!
