Loads left round here
Besides, I was making a comparison about the VW Beetle build quality, not about their longevity 
Since you brought it up most of those 21 million Beetles were made well over 50 years ago, not in the last 50 years - the slightly daft Top Gear comparison about % numbers of "Land Rovers" still on the road probably included Defenders made up to the day before the show (and probably included Series as well)...
Incidentally, I would love to know the % of Series left on the road that were made before 1975. I'm not saying the Series isn't a great vehicle but if you change all the parts it will keep going forever - the same is true of any car, you just have to be bothered to look after it... Okay - last  now (apologies)...love this story. Just a poor German traffic warden doing his duty

A big thumbs up
 for the Volvo D5 engine - it's a cracker! And the Volvo (well at least my xc70) is superb build quality.
I'm also tempted by the new RR Sport:  Click image to enlarge Like a cross between the new FFRR and the Evoque. As it now shares the all-aluminium chassis with the FFRR (rather than the D4) I think it's a bargain. Having driven a new FFRR, it's awesome  Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |
