I heard the headlights were set too low to conform to safety legislation in other countries who cared about that aspect of motoring. I would have thought there are other cars that appeared in the USA and UK that had lights as low, but around that time it was quite normal for sports cars to have pop-up headlights, so maybe there's something in the claim. There were quite a lot exported to Saudi Arabia I believe. A former VW production engineer I met was involved in the production of the car in Brazil - he said they were hand made at a rate of just 10 a day. I don't know what they sold for - could be that was an additional reason they weren't exported much. Dave.
