Our Classic VW Beetle certainly gets around! This time it is purring its way round Hong Kong, registered AL 8540. It is certainly eye-catching too, decorated in a sugary pink with cream and chrome wheels, cream interior and cream steering wheel. Even the sunroof is pink. The chrome finish to the exterior looks great against the body colour. Very sweet!
