tore-40 ◊ 2013-05-30 23:39	If Leeds is correct, then should it be VW 1303 Convertible ? Faked Belgian plates (1962-71 acc. to Wikipedia). MY1976-80 ?
Ingo ◊ 2013-05-30 23:46	if you can identify the colour, we can narrow down the year.
tore-40 ◊ 2013-05-31 00:06	I would go for the 1979-80 Lemon Yellow LA1D

tore-40 ◊ 2013-05-31 03:45	FWIW sources say January 1980 (chassis # 152044140) as the last one produced. But if import was cut 1976 then that's irrelevant.
dsl ◊ 2013-05-31 03:49	Sorry - I'll rephrase - the last UK Beetle convertible import was 1303S LS, starting Oct 76, discontinued Feb 79.
tore-40 ◊ 2013-05-31 04:04	Well then we have a 1979 Lemon Yellow VW 1303LS Convertible?
dsl ◊ 2013-05-31 04:07	I'm happy if you're happy.
tore-40 ◊ 2013-05-31 08:42	If you're happy and you know it jump up and down
