Timeless Classics : Fascinating Facts about Volkswagens
Hollywood Star on Wheels:
The classic Volkswagen Beetle didn’t just win over hearts on the road, it became an on screen movie star! Starting in 1968 with the first Herbie film, this loveable car zoomed its way into 6 Blockbuster movies and built a huge fan base. The Beetle was also the first car to sell over 20 million units.
Let the Winds Decide, Quite Literally!
Did you know that many of the Volkswagen cars take their names from oceanic currents and types of winds. Take for example the Golf which is said to be named after the Gulf Stream, Scirocco named after a Mediterranean wind and the Passat is a shortened German word for “trade wind” – the wind that powered merchant ships.
The Golf GTI: The Original Hot Hatch that started it all
Back in 1976, an icon was born, the Golf GTI. Considered as the first hot hatch combining both practicality and performance, it shaped a new category of sport and compact cars.
FAQs
Do you offer free agreed value for my classic Volkswagen?
Yes, we do, simply let us know the value you’d like to agree when you speak to our team. It must be reasonable, and we won’t agree to an unprecedented value on a car unless it’s really special and you can explain why. Alternatively, we can work with an agreed value supplied to us, for example by a classic car club that you’re a member of.
Do you offer laid-up cover?
Yes. Our laid–up cover accounts for the change in risk for a car that is to be laid up for a long time. For example, if you are now planning an extended period of storage or even a major restoration that might take you the best part of a year. Laid up cover can save you some money whilst also ensuring the car is fully protected and covered while the work or storage continues.
