We have fender mounted turn signal/parking/side marker lamp assembly until end of the export to USA market. I understand that elsewhere market moved from fender to bumper lamp assembly after 1975.

at last again annother ingo-anecdote

once i had the chance to drive such a rare "gsr". a friend, who had my all-day-passat in his garage, gave his loved gsr to me as a spare-car, because i needed a car (he is no.73 on the "gsr"-owner-list). i knew about its rarity - but i didnt felt really comforatable: it was in a cold winter, and if "gelb-schwarzer renner" or not, the heating was not better as in regular 1303 super beetles
