Volkswagens of the World

Simon Glen has spent the past 30 years travelling the world in search of those 'other' VWs (those built in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Nigeria and South Africa). He has put together a massive collection of VW sales literature, parts and repair manuals, information publications and magazines. Much of the information for this book has derived from this collection.
