Hi, I've just found out that a friend has book a classic Beetle as a surprise wedding car. It sounds great but I'm worried about whether I'll fit! I'm 6ft 2 and I have a bad back so I'm no good in cars where I have to slouch to fit in the back. What's the head room like in a classic Beetle? I'm getting married in less than two weeks, so speedy replies would be much appreciated! Cheers, Dave

If it's a regular classic Beetle, you're going to struggle in the back. There is a company that hires classic Beetle limos though, I would think you're probably OK if its one of those..

A work colleague is using both of my beetles (a '57 and a '72) as wedding cars on 21st August. He and his Bride have had a "dry run" so to speak, and all was good. He's 6ft like me so head room shouldn't be too much of an issue. We're taking the front passenger seat out of each to make access to the back easier and hopefully a little more graceful... :wink: Mike Ps: congratulations! :beer:

Some people hire out convertible Beetles, so you can get the roof down…… but it could be pouring down of course:?
