If not a locally assembled one, it looks like a Mexican built 1200 from around 1983 (due the colour). I don't know the name of the colour, but it's on the 1983 Typ 1 of my best friends wife. |

Ingo, do you think this is Yugoslavia made? |
|

As I've learned here, the Typ 1 was assembled there, too, before they made the Golf I, II and Caddy, but I don't know in which years. I think, not after 1978, when the production in Germany had stopped and the European market was delivered with Mexican made Beetles, but the experts of Balkan-assembled cars maybe know more. |

Made in TAS (Tvornica Automobila Sarajevo - Sarajevo Car Factory) under the name Volkswagen Buba TAS. Same factory produced Golf I & II. For list of cars produced in ex-Yugoslavia, see: http://www.index.hr/forum/default.aspx?q=t&idf=25&idt=166124 -- Last edit: 2009-10-23 17:57:01 |

In what years the Typ 1 was produced there? |
|
◊ 2009-10-24 17:04 |
In period from 1972 till 1976. |

 this one above is 1975+ for sure (front turn signals in the bumper), "elephant foot"-back lamps (and not a 1303), and the colour was IMHO available around 1983, so I would say, it's a Mexican made 1200 and not assembled in YU. |

The first Yugoslavian catch for my collection: Link to "cgi.ebay.de"  ..I didn't know before, that there brochures like this have existed in Yugoslavian language.  @Serbian: due the times of Yugoslavian assembling of the Typ 1, there was still an export from Germany. I've read it in the VW-export-statistics from 1971 to 1974, of which I'm owning copies. Back to topic: this Typ 1, shown here, is not a 1973-YU-assembled version  It has the turn signals in the bumpers (so 1974+), it has the elephant-foot-backlamps and the vents in the C-pillar, but isn't a 1303 (so 1975+), and the colour is from around 1983. IMHO it's not the 1974 "tropical green" - so I'm quite sure, that it's a Mexican made 1983 VW 1200. -- Last edit: 2009-11-04 19:26:52 |

@ingo: You're probably right about Mexico (as I'm not an expert on VW), but I must tell you that the official language in Yugoslavia wasn't called Yugoslavian, but Serbo-Croatian. Probably confusing for a foreigner .gif ":)") but that's how they called it. Now those are separate languages (Serbian and Croatian). -- Last edit: 2009-11-20 11:39:01 |

@ingo: If this is Mexican assembled, the indicator on the bumper would have introduced in 1977 model year. You may be correct that is 1983 version due to the color... |

@Serbian: I know. I had thought about it, when I wrote the posting. After I saw, the the seller from Slovenija also wrote "Yugoslavian language", I thought, it could be correct to use this term. @Serbian: have you seen, that this lady right now offers a book about 20 years car-production in Serbia? It's from 1975. I guess, something really rare. @DynaMike @DAF555: and a DAF 44-brochure in Serbo-Kroatian language. Rare, too, I would say. The Ford Cortina-brochure, too, because it's in German. -- Last edit: 2009-11-20 15:49:08 |

Could someone please change the flag from Yugoslavia to Mexico? Thanks! |

The indicator went from the fender to the bumper in 1975. The European Typ 1-production ended in 1978. The cars, sold in Europe afterwards, were all produced in Mexico. In Germany in 1985 the last Typ 1 was officially imported. In the mid-90ies it started again, due the activities of private importers. There were also a few "Harlekin"-versions, similar to the special Polo 6N-edition. After that it was getting quiet again, until 2003. In this year some "Ultima Edicion" were imported again, enough, that a Club for it was founded. The car in the VW "AutoStadt" is not the only one. |

@ingo: Brochures like this one weren't so rare. Yugoslavia used to be a big market (~25 million people), so the foreign car companies often had interrest in making brochures in local language. A friend of mine had a Renault brochure in Serbo-Croatian, but I think he threw it away (and when you think, he could have earned some money by selling it  ).The seller probably wrote "Yugoslavian", so that the foreign buyers would automaticaly understand what's the country of origin. -- Last edit: 2009-11-21 13:52:34 |

@Serbian: that sounds good. I would be very pleased, if you could have a look for any things, related with "my" car. Also car-magazines from the 70ies with appropriate articles would be fine. No, usually you cannot make money with this kind of literature - except you'll find some loopy nerds, who are collecting really everything about one special model. Like me.  |

@ingo: Roger that. If and when I bump on to something (preferably VW-related ), I'll let you know. P.S. F#ck money, I'm glad to help. -- Last edit: 2009-11-22 17:39:30 |

Many thanks in advance  The only thing, I'm interested in for myself, is just the VW K 70, not the whole VW-range. So it's just a tiny domain inside the whole theme... |

To the administrators: since we've reached the conclusion this one is made in Mexico, there is no further need for the suffix 'Buba' which is used for the ones made in YU. |
