Rusty old VW Beetle car.

I took these photo's in June 2025 while out walking Popcorn. 

This rusty old Volkswagen car has been parked in a street near me for quite a few years.  I spoke to it's owner and got his permission to photograph it and put the pics on my blog.

He told me it's a perfectly "good runner" which is taxed, insured & MOT'd and he uses it regularly.  Any keen photographer loves the opportunity to photograph things with a bit of character and texture.


It's certainly got lots of character!

Love all the texture & colours.

A Rally style steering wheel!

This slogan made me laugh.

Sporty Alloy wheels!

I'm not sure why all four wings have rusted, but not the bodywork.
Probably replacements at some time, it's always the wings that rot first.

A comic VW badge with attitude!!!

I tried to make some abstract art with parts of the bodywork.

Don't think I'll get nominated for the Turner Prize, too good for that anyway!

Looks like it's been to a VW Rally in it's past.

A bit of agricultural welding.

I liked this.

A beetles eye view.

Having exhausted all possible photo's from this great find I left it in peace.


Just alongside the VW was a post-box displaying the current trend to dress it with crocheted
figures as a "Topper".  I've included them too.
