Gilles,
Excellent choice! This class and type of vehicle is a very much underestimated HMV. And being based on the VW Beetle it is an excellent daily driver - let alone a direct descendant of a classic WW2 HMV, the VW Typ 82 Kübelwagen.
See
VW 181 Facts & Figures for a cache of my old web site on the type 181.
