^ I have a nearly identical shot from Van der Valk in my gallery, though I enhanced it to do away with the vertical image compression.

Here are a few more Type 2 from that series:
Parked at Amsterdam canal, season 2 episode 5, 1973. Main character Dutch police detective played by Barry Foster in center.

Still photo of Porsche engine in the 1963 Beetle sunroof Herbie shown in the movie "The Love Bug" (1969). Although this photo was an "Easter Egg" in the DVD for this movie, this particular shot is from the YouTube video "That loveable Bug" (2003). Man at right is the main stunt driver for the original movie, industry legend Carey Loftin. The scene in The Love Bug during the ElDorado race where Herbie hits the large log on the road and Peter Thorndyke lands into Herbie's trunk, you can briefly see Mr. Loftin driving as Jim Douglas' (Dean Jones) stunt double. Mr. Loftin was also credited as the unseen truck driver in the movie "Duel".

Beetle Karmann Cabrio in TV Movie "Lots of Luck" (1985), starring Annette Funicello and Martin Mull. Cabrio appears to be a 1960 (choke knob to right of ashtray), which usually needs to be push-started- even by her kids. Filmed in Los Angeles, California though IMDB does not provide further details.

The VW engine in the workshop being diagnosed is what appears to be a fresh-air 40 hp or at latest a 1300+ single-port. Holding a screwdriver to the generator to try to listen for engine sounds... Confused

I’m looking for a scene in the TV show , maybe CHiPs , when a VW bay window bus gets pulled over on the freeway for some reason. This hippy type guy is driving it and has a parrot in back that says something. What season and episode is that ?

"ATAC to St. Cyrils".

Oh wait, that was the parrot in the James Bond movie "For your eyes only". No bus in that one which I saw.

OPLive had a really sad part tonight from Nye County and the owner of the Beetle burning up didn't really seem to care! Wonder who he was insured with!

TV show "Starsky and Hutch" episode "Partners", season 3, #20 (1978). Los Angeles, California-based police detectives Ken Hutchinson ("Hutch", David Soul) and Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) remember a previous case where both are in a fiberglass buggy, chasing after antagonists in a green Toyota Land Cruiser in the desert.

At the end, the bad guys try to track down S & H who are hiding near their buggy. That buggy differs slightly from the one seen earlier: stock wide-5 front wheels instead of Jackman "VW Star" style, and one overhead roll bar tube instead of 2.
