|
|
I have just bought a 1974 SuperBeetle. It has some factory-fitted options.
Among other options it has got a centre armrest in the backseat....
I have never seen it on any beetle, anyone of you guys who have seen this?
Or is this an ultrarare option.... |

No, not of that. a beetle, but thanks.
Thank you Alex857- you know what a beetle looks like. Cool M-code. It looks really easy to modify a bug seat with that option. I feel a mod coming on... _________________

Strange how some People make statements like "not original" and so on, when they don't know it for a fact. What's the point in doing that?
