This information provided by permission from Grant Mackay-Howard.  No unauthorized duplication or publication of this material will be allowed without the prior written consent of Grant Mackay-Howard.

The International Love Bug Registry is a listing of air-cooled Volkswagen Herbie replicas from around the world.  You may notice that some examples are highly authentic, while others are more loosely inspired by the cars seen in the films.  All were built by loving fans of our favorite VW, and it is to them that this registry is dedicated.  For information on the Disney-owned vehicles, see our Movie Cars page.

For inclusion or change of information; please provide your name, location, e-mail, a clear photo, and car information to Grant Mackay-Howard. We periodically update the registry. Owners we can't contact may be removed from the list, as we'll have no way to be sure their ownership and location is current. Listings without photos will not appear in the on line registry.
