Video of Vintage Battery Operated VW Beetle driving.

A few days ago, I posted some photos of my 50 year old VW Beetle toy, which I received as a gift when I was around 7 years old.

I was not sure if it still worked and went to buy some batteries. I fitted the batteries, but when I switched it on nothing happened.

I then proceeded to clean the battery contacts, which was quite badly rusted. I also opened the car, and oiled all the moving parts.

Below you can see the car with the top removed. The long drive shaft to the back, turns the removable engine and also makes some additional noise, by hitting the spring-blade at the back.

After cleaning and oiling, I put everything back together again, I fitted the batteries again, and switched it on - and it burst into life with quite a bit of noise!!

The video shows the car running after assembling it, but also before I assembled it, thus you can see all the parts working.

I hope you liked the post as much as I liked writing it.

Enjoy the day!!
