Hi all,

Just got my 71 Early Bay on the road, MOT'd today.

Can anyone tell me what model I have, someone said a low light, early bay?! No idea what it means as I am new to air cooled...cheers!



 
Nice rake!!

Early bays are low lights..... Late bays have the indicators high up next to the grille. Late bays also have bigger air intake vents on the rear 1/4s and bigger rear lights.

You could always de-code the M-plate and that should tell you exactly what it is/should be :)
 
I've got a 'K' reg. which is a crossover. Can't see the rear lights, but got a gut feeling it's a crossover. You'll dig deeper and deeper now for information and get keen on all things volkswagen bay. Welcome to the world of pleasure 😍 and pain 😡. Pleasure far outweighs the pain though.
 
71 is same as mine. Not a crossover but VW started changing the design of the early. Flared rear arches, front disc brakes, narrow 5 wheels etc.
