They didn't come with a radio, just hole with a blanking plate so any period radio would do

Inthe "Approved accessories book" along with many other things it shows a VW radio. it is a Australian fold out brochure.
You are right but would like a VW radio if they exist! Would also like the insect screen....Rob

I worked in dealers in 70s, it was usually up to the sales team as to what was fitted, usually not a genuine radio but you never know

The radios were genuine VW Australia not VW.
Remember the chequered gutter trim? The mesh screens, radio aerial, chrome vent covers, stone guards,seat covers etc.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

The one with the 4 buttons looks close to correct for a 72.beetlecab wrote:Hi there.My car a 72 1600 s. The other radios you speak of are they the VW ones?thanks Rob

It wasn't my intention to try and sell it to you, it was more to help identify. But, if you like it, and it's what you want, I will get back to you ASAP. I want to test it first and make sure it works properly.beetlecab wrote:Hi, thanks

The HIGH tone button (far right) was missing when I bought the car. I replaced it with a plastic wallplug and painted it black, so it's not perfect.
Do you want the speaker that was with it, it's in the top picture?
All the best, Rob.
