Funny, my box says VW 1600L Variant - 1970.
The wipers are right parking (for 71-73), but are silver so would not be right
for 73.  The airbox and bulkhead is right for 1970.
Now I've taken it out of the box, I shall have to do a full inspection!

Lovely metal model - the only shame is it's red not green, but they may do a
green one in a year or two.
Mine is a twin carb with blue coil; about 9" long (I suppose that works out to
1:18 !).
I got it from a model stand at a UK show.  The typical price here seems to be
£40 to £45  ($60 - $70).   www.minichamps.de (don't know if they sell them or if
that's just for retailers).
