For many car fans, the 1200 was the definitive Beetle. It’s the most numerous, and arguably the most familiar because of it. The main improvement – aside from the more powerful engine was the vast improvement in visibility thanks to larger front and rear windows.
This generation of Beetle car was constantly updated until 1968, when it was thoroughly revised again to become the 1300. New headlamps and thicker bumpers were fitted, and an upgraded safety kit added inside. Mechanical changes included – 12-volt electrics and dual-circuit brakes, plus a fuel tank that didn’t have to be filled by via the luggage compartment.
