From Pistonheads Sunday Service at BMW's UK HQ: Not many pictures alas; was on a flying visit en route to the German show. More pics to follow. Apologies to the people who wanted to comment on this but couldn't. The thread was locked.

I'm not a big Beetle fan, but that looks hard.

Definitly built for a purpose. And not one that involves commuting

Clearly a car that gets used and abused, built for purpose, not fashion. I approve. ;D

Depends on what the commute is, 500 miles across gruelling desert terrain, not living in the 'burbs then

What's the purpose of the elaborate outrigger cage portion? Yes, I see it holds a Jerry can. But it looks to be made with more than that purpose in mind.

I know the owner, Fiona, she has driven Pedro all over the world, from the UK to Australia via France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. As well as that it became the first Beetle to reach the Everest Base Camp. Fiona is lovely and takes the Baja everywhere, it is often seen at Supercar meets as well as Air-Cooled shows and Charity events. And Seth, you may say its not built for commuting but Fiona works for Sky TV as a Cameraman and regularly commutes in the Bug.

I *hope* that's not really a ladder to reach the Everest-height of a Bug's roofline. ;D It took a while to make, and can't imagine it's been done because excess tubing was taking up shop space, or the Bug needed more weight to haul half-way around the world. [Sidebar: Mine charity? Monty (and Auchinleck before him, and actually a much better commander than Monty) used them to good effect against Rommel, speaking of desert crossings.... they are terrific strategic "funnelers" and of course, should be used responsibly like all weapons. But not all warmakers are responsible, now are they? Which explains a lot of wars ab initio! ]
