Birth of the Beetle: The Development of the Volkswagen by Ferdinand Porsche

Here is a unique record of the Beetle's early evolution, chronicled by an English teacher who spent 20 years digging through untapped sources, including archives at Porsche. Despite the plethora of books on this evergreen car, most of his material has never previously been published. The book - illustrated with over 300 rare photographs and diagrams - covers the period from the Porsche expos¹ of January 1934 through the Beetle's full development history set in the social and political context of Nazi Germany. The story of the link between VW and Porsche is rounded off with chapters on the first Porsche sports cars and details of Porsche type numbers with VW connections.
