RE: Classic VW Beetles in SE Asia, Volkswagen “Type 1” … Chiang Mai – Vehicle Photography

The old Beetle was known officially as the Type 1, and unofficially as the “Bug.” It was also called the “Love Bug,” and when I was a kid, we jokingly referred to it as “Hitler’s Handbag.

Hehe. over here in Nigeria, we call them tortoise car. The body looks like a tortoise's shell.

K reckon you could find them in good condition too. Only that they are relegated to low-cost driving schools. It's rare to see a beetle that isn't being used for that purpose
