Meet Marmalade
There's something about an old Beetle that modern cars simply can't replicate.
The distinctive sound of the air-cooled engine, simple mechanicals, upright driving position and unmistakable view over those curved front wings combine to make every journey feel like an occasion.
Marmalade takes that classic Beetle personality and adds a huge splash of 1970s colour.
The bright orange bodywork suits the car perfectly, while the chrome bumpers, traditional steel wheels and polished hubcaps give it the timeless appearance that makes an original-style Beetle so appealing.
Whether you're heading to a VW show, taking a trip to the coast, enjoying a summer evening drive or simply popping out for a Sunday blast, Marmalade is the sort of car that makes even the shortest journey enjoyable.
And wherever you take it, expect plenty of smiles, waves and conversations along the way.
