rjluna2 ◊ 2010-03-29 01:47	What does the script says on the door? I am very much presuming that the extra fog red light and the back up light on the bumper were later add-on...
wickey ◊ 2010-03-29 01:50	those were mandatory in czechoslovakia and probably in germany in those days as well
DynaMike ◊ 2010-03-29 12:56	Chrome sidestrip and chrome framing of the reflectors: S version. I guess the text reads Volkswagen Variant S. Here's a 1964 Variant and Variant S: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/64notch_variant_dutch/page2.jpg (without the S mentioned under Variant) and from 1965: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/mast/65_15litre_nl_page3.jpg (with the S badge).
