We first met Gertie on the Ebay, fell hook line and sinker and bought her without actually seeing her in the metal. She is a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle, 1192cc, 6 volt, with all her original bits. 

For a 39 year old VW she's in great shape.

Check out the interior... Totally original. Chrome in all the right places, original steering wheel, knobs, handles & seat covers...

The engines a beauty... She starts every time we turn the key without fail, got her to 62mph on the way home(!) Not sure how Chris stopped her though, the brakes are almost non-existent...

The pictures to the left were taken when we got her home, the four below are those from the original Ebay advert. I'm sure you can appreciate why we made sure we won the auction.
