VW news

R.A.C. British Rally Champion Driver of 1960, W. Bengry, started the season with Simcas and then used a 1961-type VW for the rest of the year. Last month Credit-Trends, discussing the British Motor Industry’s present troubles, stated: ” Medium-size saloon cars are expected to continue to lose ground to the American ‘compacts,’ while small British cars seem to be finding it more and more difficult to compete in the United States and Canada with European small cars, particularly Volkswagen.” Last year VW made 891,067 vehicles and exported well over half of them.
