Having owned Beetles I'm biased - but you could end up with a dud. I've got a MKIV Golf now which although only 10 years old is still reliable. Why not go for a MKI Golf - or are you going for the tax free element?

I daresay you'd love the Aprilia Moto 6.5 that Starck designed in the 90's?, an unusual departure for Starck, in that it actually performs its function.
Then again, why not put your money into an Eames recliner or something? Doesn't require outlay after you've bought it, unlike anything with an engine.

My first motor, a 105E Anglia
I've mislaid or lost all the rest (that only survives because my ex-girlfriend posted it to facebook) but they included various American tin, including a 1956 Studebaker Silver Hawk
