 I would say, it's a 1969-only MY. Shortnose, but already the new wheels. So this is a 1600 Variant, too. What a plate does it has? Norwegian? In Sweden they had a similar nationality-sticker (in Germany these stickers always have a black line around), but in 1976 in S they already had the new plate-system and not the smaller, pre-1972 plastic-plates any more. How long were the old versions allowed to use?

 Pretty sure it has norwegian plates pre april 1971. In norway they didnt change to new plates unless it changed owner or the owner wanted new plates. If you have a car older than 1971 you can use old style regplates in Norway.

 Station wagon with the engine in the rear... So, if the car breaks down, one would have to throw out all the luggage first. Major design flaw!

 You could have your luggage in luggagecompartment in front, so it would not fly around and kill if your in an accident. Major design advantage :P

But the disadvantage shouldn't be ignored
(for better understanding: Link to "passaratti.fusseltuning.de" )
- the space is small and flat, so not usable for the most standard-sized bigger suitcases
- not usable for other even normal sized good (in the Beetle, except 1302 and 1303, you cannot even place a standard http://www.getraenke030.de/images/product_images/popup_images/163_1.jpg :/ )
- the spare tire makes the luggage stinking for rubber
- the fuel tanks " " " " " fuel
- the window cleaner-tank " " " " " window cleaner (worst: spritus)

Though my father bought his first real car, a 1973 Passat, when I was 7 year old, I still remember these idiotic problems, we had with the previous 1968 VW 1300 :p

Then why would anyone need a 1600 Variant or any other station wagon, for that matter? Extra space for thin air? And unless one is hauling styrofoam, the Variant would be a tad back heavy ...Because of the added weight of the engine. ;)
