VW Beetle CollectorHello we are Stef and Mieke from Belgium.We started collecting Beetles several years ago. Our collection counts around 1000 Beetles at the moment, with a scale ranging from 1:160 to 1:12. Only one special Beetle is missing in our collection: A black Beetle cabrio from 1972, with white leather seats and white side tires. 
Until we have such a nice car, we will keep on collecting the smaller version. So, if you have a nice model for us, send us an image of your item. If we are interested, we will offer you a fair price. Stef and Mieke |

Hello & Stef and Mieke. 
Here are a few Beetles I have (not looking to sell any I hasten to add! ):
First a recent purchase - made by Rio 1/43 scale: 
Clickable Cararama New Beetle Turbo S:  
But by far my favourite and certainly the one I had the hardest time finding, a Vitesse Herbie:

No, we don't collect plants, but our dog's name is Yucka. 
Yucka is the black one... Pixel is the brown one and the cat Mirko thinks:"I'm a dog, too." |

| Ken R |
See Kees , you were not disappointed then were you ?
|

| Yuckadog |
Indeed, the Herbie made by Vitesse is hard to find - we still missing them. But we have some other nice Herbie's: 
Herbie - Hongwell - 1:43 
Herbie #53 - Ixo - 1:43 
Herbie - Bburago - 1:43 |

I learnt to drive in a 1200cc bug many years ago... it jumped out of 3rd gear & had to be held in with the left knee. ... great car though |

Welcome beetle fans!
I have a VW cabriolet, a timy wiking. Wish I had the real thing. Gizmo, I had a Ford Anglia with the same problem. |
