Thanks for the memories!

Even in far-away Rhodesia (as it was) I used to collect those ads and keep them in a scrap book.

Where is the scrap book now? :(

That was great thanks for posting.
Having sold a couple of expensive cars in the last few weeks i am planning on buying a cheap beetle next year just to buzz around in. Something i don't really need to look after or worry about, might put a quick engine in though.
Having a had a couple in my younger days just fancy another one
