Issue 23 - 1964 Volkswagen Beetle. Belonging to a definitive collection of 1:43 scale miniatures, this release pays tribute to the engineering and design excellence of the Australian automotive industry. Assembled locally in Clayton, Victoria, with high local content, the Beetle became a staple of Australian roads. It was known for its air-cooled engine and ability to handle the dust and heat of the outback.
This model represents the diverse manufacturing history of Australia. The Beetle is a nostalgic piece for many, reflecting the simplicity and charm of sixties motoring and the reliability of the 'Iron Pig.'
