1967 Volkswagen Beetle | Stirling, Stirlingshire

The Volkswagen Beetle is the rounded, rear-engined small car that grew from a people's car into a 1960s favourite. Its air-cooled flat-four sits at the back, and the soft, curved body reads clearly on screen. Herbie, the star of The Love Bug, was a Beetle. This one is green with a cream interior and chrome brightwork, a cheerful, gentle mix. Its 1300cc engine is mounted at the rear. The front suspension beam has been narrowed, so the car sits lower than a standard Beetle and has a planted look in shot. Condition is excellent. Film and television work set in the late 1960s gets a period shape with clean lines. Fashion, editorial and photography shoots gain from the pale interior and low stance, while advertising and events get a friendly car with space around it in frame. Weddings and personal hires suit its soft looks too. The car is based in Stirling, Stirlingshire.
