The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most recognisable and longest-produced automobiles in history. Designed in the 1930s and produced in its classic form through the 1970s, the Beetle became a global icon of affordable, reliable motoring. The 1960 model sits in the heart of the classic split-window era’s successor period, featuring the oval rear window already replaced by the larger unit introduced in 1958, paired with the characteristic rounded bodywork and air-cooled rear engine that defined the model. The 1200cc engine of this period produces modest output but is celebrated for its durability and simplicity.
