Car was delivered into USA brand new so it does have overriders, NOT A Euro car. it is also a transitional model as its changed fem beetle tail lights to tear drop.

I mean the one Jules posted. Aren’t those guards taller than the no-overrider ones? Or am I imagining things?

Martin, they are Euro A guards. Pre A guards are even shorter, is that what you mean?

But this should be about Glenn's car. Any new pics Glenn?
