1302 S


68AutoBug - May 18th, 2006 at 11:48 AM

Yes,
Its a 1302S SuperBug made in 1971-72...
with rossi type headlamps... in early front guards....

Early front guards on a super is unusual....
on non superbug fairly easily done....

The Bulging Bonnet of the 1302S is the giveaway....

Early guards? Rossi lamps?

can I have some of what you are on?

All I can say is "that I'm colour blind" and maybe I saw Rossi headlamps etc.... well i thought I did....

The blinkers looked at first glance like the horn grills...

I'll have to have more than a quick glance next time....

I've been looking at heaps of Beetle pics from all around the world..... maybe too many....

Maybe My VW Brain is overloaded...!!!

Its now official, this car does NOT have early guards and Rossi headlamps....

Its just a 1302S without a front bumper.....

Hi

I think the flames confused you Lee, the left headlight looks like it it has a Rossi rim, but its the flame.

Your 70 is a standard (beam)

and that is a Super (struts)
