Sunbar wrote Yes *VKX is right for a 1962 Buckinghamshire registration. DynaMike wrote Since there was no choice of engines until 1965 I doubt that the '1200' was part of the model name... john from Staffs wrote What about the 1131cc Standard model? ingo wrote The differences between the Standard and the Export was the interior and the chrome-trims, not the engine. The first had 24,5 hp, then 30 hp and later on 34 hp. The 40 and 50 hp-engines came later and weren't 1200cc-blocks. The mudflaps and the chrome-stone-guard on the back fender at the car above, were original VW-extras. You could buy them as aftersales-market-stuff, too, but then the mudflaps had no VW-logo. A bit hard to see, but perhaps it has the openable back side windows, too. stronghold** wrote in eps 2.10*
