The customs were 1300 engined beetles that took over from the terrible "standard" beetles..
they had stainless steel blade bumpers with no over riders
and the chromed "Custom" badge on the engine lid...
These are Very rare... and
Only used on Australian assembled beetles...
best of Luck
Maybe the "custom" badges on Hotrods are actually off Beetles???

No you weren't Mike. You did what anyone would do. No problems at all. I'm sure Ringo will come good too. A lot of people away at the mo. No, I was
being a smart-arse.

Saw someone advertising reproductions on Ebay last week, he was also advertising Deluxe badges as well, look under VW &/or Custom.
