Designed in Germany when Adolf Hitler was in power by Auto Designer Porsche, the 'Beetle' had a variation to suit the needs of the Wehrmacht. This was used extensively in the Russian Front and in Libya. The air-cooled engine had no reliance on water and was a definite advantage in the deserts of North Africa.This model came to the Volkswagen Rally in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in April 2013 and was in pristine condition.
