The VW Beetle went on to become world biggest seller at over 21,000,000 units sold, of all types, progressively modified and improved, and with numerous engines throughout the production run.

 

For 1965 a larger 1300 (1285cc) engine was introduced with 40bhp and an all synchromeshbox, a revised front end, greased for life steering joints and slotted wheels. From 1968, two speed wipers, dual circuit brakes with front discs optional and a collapible steering column.

 

In 1971 for the first time there were two different Beetles available. the familiar standard Beetle and a new, larger version, that differed from the windscreen forwards. The standard Beetle was now badged as the VW 1300; when equipped with the 1600 engine, it was badged 1300 S. he new, larger Beetle was sold as the 1302/1302 S, offering nearly 43% more luggage capacity, up from 140 litres to 260 litres
