Have any of you seen one of these? I was leafing through my "Original Bug" book and read about this. Quote:
"Based on the 1303S, Volkswagen launched a limited edition 'Yellow and Black Racer' of which 3500 were produced.....the body work was painted yellow with the bonnet and engine lid in matt black. In keeping with the
Rennsport image, there were sport seats with integral headrests, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and 51/2J sports wheels with 175/70x15 low-profile wheels".
Apparently there were two more special editions that year, the City Beetle and the Big Beetle (with the 1600)
Kind of cool. Resembles the LE 914's of 1974. Looks like the bumblebee too.
