1300A Beetle (UK). Introduced to the UK market in
October 1972, withdrawn July 1973 (Production run of just 10 months).
This Beetle was originally a 1300A, which was the standard 1200
Beetle fitted with the 1300cc engine as standard. Being based on the
1200 means that it lacked the luxury trimmings: lack of trim down the
centre of the bonnet and no chrome trim in the window rubbers.
Quarter -lights were black. The roof lining does not cover the rear
window area, just the roof space.
