That is the kind of car I have always wanted! Even the older models. I have always loved the little Volkswagons. So yours is named Ringo. Remember Herbie!!!
I always wanted an old beetle, too, ever since I was a little kid. I wanted a red one, painted like a ladybug.
But, I'm not a mechanic by any means ... so that pretty much precludes owning an old beetle. Plus, they are death traps, seriously, very very unsafe in an accident. That's why they quit selling them in the US in the 70's, they couldn't pass the safety regulations.
So, when the new ones came out, I was happy!! 
A guy on a New Beetle website I post to has one painted to look like Herbie.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
