Current Goal

Hi, I'm Betsy. My wheels may be small but my appetite for adventure and history is very BIG. I'm missing my big sis at the moment and would love to be reunited with her, and so am trying to travel back home to Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom, meeting other classic VWs en-route. Please help me if you can.

About This Item

Betsy Blue with big sis, Gladys

Betsy is a small, blue 1954 oval screen VW Beetle with a large appetite for travel and history. She is compiling information and photos about VW meets and places of historic interest for her big sis, Gladys who doesn't get to travel quite as much due to her size.

Well, it took a little time but today I found another little beetle wich I will attach to the travel bug. It's sad that the original Betsy got lost and I hope, that this one will be a good substitute, although it is quite scratchy.
There are some beautiful old beetles in my neighourhood and I'll be taking pictures of them and load them up. And of course Betsy will be set out on the road as soon as possible.

Well, obviously John did not re-attach the Beetle. Took the tag with desciption despite of it and will give it some miles to Germany. Maybe one of the next Cachers will donate a new Beetle.

Rescued Betsy from the cave and brought her home in style, I think she appreciated the drive in our Matilda, the Reliant Robin, will move her on as soon as possible.

Betsy is looking good for doing so many miles, she's lost a bit of paint but I think she is the first beetle I have seen for ages that's not rotten.

Update of where we are leaving her soon.
