That's really interesting. All the engine numbers I've ever looked at, which were all later, were all on one line. > I found a description of the lower compression 1500S in "Volkswagen > 1600 Guide" by Bill Stone (p. 18-20) that says VW introduced it for > the US market because thay felt they couldn't market an economy car > that required premium fuel here.

Has anyone else seen this info anywhere else? It's a little strange to talk about this for 65, because VWoA didn't import the type 3s until 66.
