Derelict Beetle

Another Volkswagen Type 1 ‘Beetle’ found abandoned and neglected in the wilderness on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. This example was a later-spec model from the 1970s, based on the modern dashboard layout (most of which had been stripped). Having donated many parts, including almost all its fenders, this battered Bug’s days are numbered. Although, there’s a chance this car could still be sitting in this exact same spot ten years from now. Maybe even longer. When scrap rates are high, the Greeks cash in on weighing stuff in just like everyone else. However, for whatever reason, some vehicles are left behind for much longer after others meet their fate.
