Dakar Rally '09

I competed in the '77 London to Sydney (in a Datto) and it was no where near as 'challenging' as the '79 Round Australia Trial (also in a Datto).
Larry Perkins ran a pretty mean VW in that one...about the only car that could survive the greasy mud around Bordertown !!

Good looking 73 - 1302S beetle.
Guessing at 73. Round windscreen came out in 73, and the front cross member looks cast rather than pressed so that means pre mid 74.

Thanks for the site ref.

Friend in the VW club is rallying a beetle in the revised group N and doing well.

Oops, David Scharf's beetle is there, but with the old mags which I got from him late last year, so the photo must be about 12 months old. And he has updated the ignition (dizzy) since then by the photo.
