![[Image: 35-53k70.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/35-53k70.jpg) Just starts up and begins to drive away for no reason connected to the plot, and does not reappear in the ep. A few seconds earlier camera pans to this spot and there are no cars, so a continuity slip. -- Last edit: 2013-06-02 18:00:41 |

 1974, as the colour seems to be "sonnengelb" |

Only UK version in 74 listed as LS; discontinued June 74. Onscreen the colour is that distinctive butterscotch yellow, perhaps more obvious than picture. will repost if I get better quality version. |

@Nightrider: no, so 1974. |

Hmmm, it's the question, what were the facts. For Britain there was exclusively made the only specific LS-brochure: ![[Image: img1614nto.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/img1614nto.jpg/ "http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1184/img1614nto.th.jpg") (this one is from 8.74), but there are also the regular brochures for all versions in English -those UK-versions with the terribly cobbled RHD-pics (all photos dully mirrored) and with BHP-datas- up to 8.1974, but the problem is, if they were really for the UK. Generally VW-brochures for the UK-market had a printing number ending with .25 but I have a plenty of English ones with other numbers (but some of them still with BHP and mirrored pics). The plenty of wrong informations in the literature makes everything even more confusing. So are in UK-specific brochures also the standard-trim K 70 and the K 70 S (1.8 liter, but poverty-spec interior) listed, although every RHD-K 70 had always the more luxoury L-trim line. And the headlight-washers (since 8.73) are listed, too - but it's impossible to mount that feature in a RHD-K 70. So the original VW-informations are not trustworthy at all. This I've realised in the last 22 years of K 70-mania. |

Scan of Glass's info for 1966-75 edition (have cross-checked later editions and there's no change and nothing at all after June 74):![[Image: glasssk70listing.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/glasssk70listing.jpg) The "See Note page 267" refers to a technical explanation of all UK VW chassis numbers after 1964, with no direct comment on K70. |

Does this mean LS was made for UK?? Excellent brochure picture - I used to get brochures from Smithfield Garage (also Audi and BMW) in my collecting days - http://www.flickr.com/photos/atoach/2205416749/ , http://paintedsignsandmosaics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/smithfield-garage-birmingham.html - although I think it's been closed for some time and now redeveloped. |

@dsl: no, just the specific brochure for the LS was made for the UK. "LS" were those K 70 with the 1.8 liter 100 hp-engine (the "S") and the more luxoury interior (the "L"). |

A for dsl. Because with his comment about the dealers (I've expected, that he as a Brummie would like that one .gif ":)") ), he provoked me to look at my English sales brochures for more - and in one I've found a sheet of paper, which I haven't noted before. But more about in the forum.Here just one really lovely item, I've found in annother K 70-brochure, also an UK-version, purchased from http://stores.ebay.de/Andrew-Currie-Automobilia (years ago, in pre-eBay-times, on a parts market) ![[Image: img1628pt.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/32/img1628pt.jpg/ "http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2995/img1628pt.th.jpg") |

Pictures replaced with better quality versions. Unlikely to show anything different from before. |
