@ingo, can you take a look at this- due to the ventilation window and Winker, MY1952-59 1200 Cabriolet? You can see just the top of the door inner lining, is that a clue?

Hmm, I don't know. I'm not a real expert for these early Beetles. The dashboard is the main hint. As it's abviously a new, product placement-car, it should be from around 1958/59. If the car is not too old, the colour is a good hint, too. Volkswagen often has changed the paintworks every one, two years (at least in the 60ies and 70ies).

No :p
The WIKING-model on your link is a much later one (with aftersales market cobbling). WIKING sometimes followed the facelifts of the original role models. They had made some more VW Cabriolet model years.
The colour was maybe a reminiscence to the "marathonmetallic" of the early 70ies. Altough WIKING took this colour many years after Volkswagen, but not in the first years of this 1302-based model.
