I passed my test in a LHD beetle, so have a particular affinity to them!
If you're prepared to put up with the lack of heating and the ever-so-tail-heavy handling (and I use handling in the broadest sense!). We 'modded' ours by putting two sacks of sand under the bonnet which at least kept the front wheels on the road!
But I did like the characterful nature! It's life (think it was about 10 years old when we got it) came to an untimely end when my brother did what all siblings do when you enjoy something: spoil the fun. In this case by writing it off!
