The missive of the alphabet concerns a pen too ink drawing of a VW Beetle alongside fantasy decoration. VW claim that the sale of copies of the drawing infringes its merchandise wearing clothing too seeks to
"capitalize on too net from the goodwill too reputation of VWoA past times misappropriating VWoA's registered trademarks too merchandise wearing clothing inwards its products."
