rjluna2 ◊ 2018-07-28 21:32	I meant to say 1973-74
dsl ◊ 2018-07-28 22:45	tore-40 wrote AFAIK UK got the bumper indicators for MY1975 Um ... no we didn't, but not because your dates are wrong, simply that we got no Beetles after Oct 74, apart from a brief return for the convertible from Oct 76 as the 1303S LS, discontinued Feb 79. We did get 1303 S Convertible from Sept 72 to Oct 74, but only as special order with minimal sales. So if this is a UK RHD, it's a rare find.

dsl ◊ 2018-07-29 14:19	Vague memory that the Sept 72 to Oct 74 availability here of 1303 S Convertible could have been LHD only, but can't find confirmation. Agree that no external offside mirror is a significant point, so I'm thinking an import is likely. Ex-US??
