Old VW Beetle as an everyday car?
So lets say you were looking for a first car and you came across a 78 VW beetle. In was in good condition and was about £1000. It's near to where you live, there's no rust on

- Why don't car companies reproduce old models? Why doesn't ford sell old mustangs or Jaguar sell new E-types with new suspension and engine etc. I think car companies would make a killing remaking replicas with new guts and if
