there are loads of websites that sell proper VW's.
Or buy a copy of Volksworld and there are literaly 100's
Although we searched for ages to find the right one for us, dont just buy the first one you go and see, even if it is a resto project, get the best condition one you cann afford. When we started the beetle it cost us £350, ive now probably spent around the £5k mark (not including the crap bodyshop that did it first). And ive not skimped, but not gone all out.
