Yesterday I purchased this one. It's a 1967 Standard, in German it is called "Sparkäfer".
So it has the small headliner, no fuel gauge and no trim around the windows.
It will arrive in three weeks.
It has the wrong hubcaps. Can anyone tell me where the right (flat) hupcaps for a 1967 can be found? I've searched, but no luck so far.

My 1300 from 1967 has to go, too many issues.

Looks like that bug has smoothie wheels - not the slotted that the flatter hubcaps would need. The smoothie non-slotted wheels use the domed hubcaps only.
