A black vinyl (un-padded) top which can be removed. Foldable front windscreen. Front defroster vents in the dashboard and warm air outlets in the foot well.

In August 1970 the engine was upgraded to the Twin Port 1600cc engine from the 1302S Beetle. The extra 6bhp produced by this engine increased the top speed to 115kph (71 mph). Other improvements to the VW 181 in 1970 included a new padded dashboard and new improved windscreen mounting.

From chassis number 183 2346 525 the rear suspension and braking system was changed from the original version fitted from the Split-screen Bus (with reduction boxes) to the all-new Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) from the 1302 Beetle. This new suspension included a double-jointed rear axle with semi-trailing links. The rear brakes were off of the 1302 Beetle although a unique wide 5 brake drum was used (the Beetle brake drum was 4×130 PCD).
In August 1973 more parts from the VW Beetle were transferred to the VW 181. This included the new 4 spoke steering wheel with padded horn push. Indicator switch and column mounted wiper switch with integrated washer switch.

In March 1974 a new ‘Acapulco’ beach version was released into production (although not available in Germany). This unique model included a new blue and white gloss paint with matching seat upholstery. The running boards for the first time were covered in rubber and the safety chains were removed from the doors. Only 400 were produced making them the rarest of all Type 181’s built.
The Type 182 was officially sold in Britain by VW dealers under the name ‘Trekker’. The new Right Hand Drive Trekker included European rear tail lights and flashing front indicators.
