Has anyone heard of a Beetle Luxury sports?
I am on the hunt for a late bug as a daily. Have seen a rather nice looking bug for sale, but the owner claims that it is a rare import from Germany.
A 1971 1302 Luxury sports. Has anyone heard of this? Is this guy dreaming?

That would be great. Thanks! The car looks great and I wouldn't mind it at all. The one thing that made me think that it was a bit weird was that he
mentioned that it had "rare opening back windows" which were plain and simple pop outs. It is also a little exy for a car without a RWC. Happy to
pay that amount of money without a doubt would just like the piece of paper which helps me to get it registered without too much hassle

Hmmmmmmm ??????? It looks nothing like the bug in the pic! The bug for sale is a 71 so it doesn't have the elephant foot lights. It has a padded
dash, sliding sunroof (apparently factory fitted ???????) and "performance wheels" (apparently from factory, to me they look like cheap 90's mag
wheels !). The story of the car sounds a bit dicey but I can't find anything in that vintage that looks half way decent and is not over $10,000!

You can get a europen model called a 1302 sports that would fit in to the year he claims, it would have marathon wheels not alloys, factory fitted
metal sunroof was an optional extra so once again could be right..
the best thing you could do is get some picture of it so we can have a look, it mite be the real deal and "someone" just calls it a luxury
special .
Where i used to live in the uk there was a bloke who had a "JPS special" bug and would go on about how it was as rare as rocking horse shit, no
matter now many times u told him it was a jeans beetle with JPS stickers someone had fitted he would not listen, why? cuz when he bought it the nice
man told him all these things and it cost TWICE as much as other betles he had seen of the same year/style...

ok just had a brain wave it mite be a super vee which was run from 71 to 77 or the jubilee beetle that was produced when vw hit the 20 million mark
now the jubilee only came in saturn yellow and it did have the padded dash either 1300(1302) or 1600(1302s) and has sprintstar wheels , both are quite
rare and were europen market only so if it is one of these it would be great find over here
I have picture of both models somewhere i will dig them out if it helps....

the first of the specials was the 15th million which was made in 72 then there was a few after that. as said before 71 should have a flat metal dash.
i also think that this is not what it seems

Brief Comments
RARE German import 1302 LS, with all the optional extras!!
Long Comments Here you have a VW Beetle 1302 Luxury Sports, that could be said is like no other, to date i have not seen the same model nor one with
with all of the optional extras.
- It has the RARE rear opening windows
- rear demister
- sliding sunroof (currently not functional) but maybe easily fixed
- Plastic 60's style dash
- factory cooling fan
- dual circuit brake warning system
- black vinyl seats (leather look)
- Preformance Mag wheels
The Engine:
She holds a 1600 engine, which runs very well! smooth running engine with no leaks. Frequently serviced, A Full Service and tune was completed not
long ago. where the brakes were fully redone.
85.5mm bore x 69mm stroke, 1584cc
Compression ratio 7.5:1
Solex 30 PICT-3 to 6.71 then 34 PICT-3

She is very reliable and a great car. it is regretful sale but i no longer have the space and she must go.

Plates are not forsale with the car. but replacemnt will be given.
