Context:

S708 Sonderaktion *’VW 1200’ Mit Aussenlackierung ‘Sonnengelb’, Innenausstattung ‘Curry” was only officially marketed in Germany.

A total of 1,500  Sunny Bugs  were produced by Volkswagen de México, S.A. de C.V., Puebla, Mexico,  for export to Europe.

* (The standard factory specification of the Special Bug was consistent with the contemporary Mexican “1200L” export model officially manufactured for sale in Germany between 1979 and 1985. The model differed in small detail ways from the preceding German manufactured 1200L Käfer for the home (inland). The changes included the addition of an electric screen wash system, heated rear window and head restraints as standard equipment.)

Sales Literature:

An A3 sheet folded to make a four page A4 sized full colour brochure was printed for the Sunny Bug.
