Volkswagen GTI creates own buzz

VW 1965 engine spluttering after switch off by
YMC[_2_]
Hi,
I've got a classic VW Beetle - vintage 1965. It has a 1641cc engine inside.
It was running smoothly until recently.
The problem is thus:
I go for a 15 minute to 1 hour drive - I stop - and turn off the key. The
engine still keeps on running - spluttering for about 30 seconds after this.
