More pics of Imported S

Haven't got the hang of more than 3 pics per post! Some more. The side mouldings are soft aluminium. If you have them, don't park next to anyone in a car park! I paid about $200 to Vic Brkovic for a NOS set in 2000 for these ones and was happy to do so. Haven't seen a full set since.

omg an arm rest 🤪 how cool.

I hated the Aussie clear blinker lens same shape as that... lol

Do You know how many were imported Dallas??

I can only ever remember seeing blue 1500S...

any other colors??

PS: luckily I have another set of aluminium strips for My beetle
plus a set of stainless ones...
Yours are a bit harder with that blinker indicator and shaped ended strip... LEE

PPS: Good old Vic....

The sea blue seemed popular Lee but I have seen a couple of pearl white ones. The first actual S I ever saw in the flesh was a wreck in a yard here at Riverstone (Auto Undertakers which was run by John Hood and his two young sons). That was 1968 and it was a 1965 Notch. I got the whole interior of that car and transplanted it into my 1964 OZ Notch. The other colour which came into OZ was the velet green one owned by Aaron Britcher in Adelaide. Birch green was also available but never ever saw any.

With you on the clear lens Lee, amber for me any day!

Have no idea on how many were imported. Maybe Phil Matthews has some info on them??

I remember Aarons Velvet green notch , this was the car used in my type 3 education.

If u want to gat technical imported 1500s' chrome trim has a 45 degree cut at the end of each bit of chrome , they also have a tiny 's' like the 's' on the number plate light stamped on the edge of the trim
