Model information
1302LS Beetle
Info
A rare 1302LS from 1971, October 1971 to be exact. The selling dealer was VW Motors in Dublin, although it did look slightly different when the number plates were fitted. For one thing, the colour was not silver as it is in these photos, but instead was Gemini Blue Metallic (L96E) and it did not have any of the personalised accessories fitted. We’re not sure when they were fitted but whoever did it clearly loved their Beetle because they made sure the ducktail bootlid spoiler was colour matched to the silver of the Beetle, a roofrack was fitted, as well as four spotlights, a set of ‘sports’ hubcaps and a towbar were fitted. Aftermarket mirrors were also fitted, as were some period vinyl graphics under the side trim. This was a very eye-catching Beetle back in the days of bland motoring so well done to the owner for doing their thing!
