Memminger

We keep hearing that the Volkswagen Beetle's days are numbered. It's a sad thought, but sales of the third-generation of the people's car haven't exactly set the world alight.

With the unfortunate demise of the quirky car seemingly imminent, small German manufacturer Memminger has decided to give the world its take on the iconic car, and the result is something rather brilliant.

Memminger has been restoring and building Beetles using the original recipe for a number of years. The company originally started life in the late 1970s as a steel construction company. It restored its first Beetle just before the new millennium and has since turned that into its core business.
