There are a surprising number of kit cars based upon VW Beetles.Saw a vintage Bugatti coming the other way near Kelso on Wednesday. Was driving at the time, so no photo, but a very rare and expensive car which sounded superb.
Pretty sure this was a genuine vintage Bugatti as per Type 39 or similar, though could have been a replica. Wish I'd been able to take a closer look. Definitely not based on a Beetle.There are a surprising number of kit cars based upon VW Beetles.

I had one of those , Series IIIC , Reg OKS 249 which was green with white roof ; I acquired it in lieu of money this guy owed me .
One day , in the pub , ended up chatting to this guy who’d worked in the factory ; he told me the two tone paint jobs were known as ‘The Gay Look’ back then .
It was a pleasant enough car to drive , but sold on eventually.
I'll see your Westies and raise you an Auntie.
