Show reignites passion
Well i have been watching beetle crisis and have fallen back in love with beetles all over again.
Now my misses seen a different web page and asks what are you on now?
A VW site! is that what car your doing next? yep.
I owned a 61 with a 1600 pink covertable from 90 to 95 and always wanted another one.so i have come here to look and chat.
Im enjoying the site like a kid in a lollie shop.

Welcome on board. Some supers have a flat dash. They are the 70-72 "S" beetles. Also known sometimes as 1302 beetles. They have a McPherson
strut front end, IRS rear end and the spare wheel lays flat giving the bonnet a different shape to the earlier beetles. It is the "L" (or 1303
model) that have the curved screen. They were basically 73-74 models.
Good luck with the search.

I had a Beetle as a first car back in 1991, as did my wife in 1994....fast forward to 2009 and a move to Aus from the UK and my wife stupidly says
"how about we get another Beetle?"
I seriously never thought i'd get so bloody hooked again!! Totally besotted!!
Enjoy it
