Description
While Austrian Painter Moustache Man was figuring out how lead tastes like, the British were busy taking over everything in there lil' section of German, and curiously enough, there was a Volkswagen plant there. Long story short, some Ivan Hirst guy convinces the British Army they need this car.

The civilian model, for those Germans who actually had money. Which, granted, there were very few of for some odd reason...

Includes semaphores/side indicators (num pad 1 and 2).


398 Bricks.

Oh, fun fact, this is my 500th build, only now I just realised that. Half way to 1,000, baby!

Yeah, they were very tempted to leave it be. But they did change their minds, sure is a good thing they did. lol

Actually, even the Brits didn't want it, until one of the army officers drove it himself and said "I do say, my good sir, this is a very fine automobile." and production for the army became a thing.

Nice. Great work!

They did offer the VW Beetle to the Americans and the French but they turned it down. They said 'It wasn't worth a damn.' Hindsight anyone? lol Brits were the only ones persuaded to keep the production going.
