(Super Beetles weren't introduced until the 1971 model year.)

The "H" engine code indicates it's a '67 1500cc single port engine, which means that it was replaced somewhere along the way. The 1970 was offered stock with a "B" series 1600cc single port engine.

This doesn't mean that your engine is definitely a 1500cc, as it's possible that it was rebuilt to 1600cc.

Hi finally replying to your message from 2009!, the Beetle being on the back burner due to illness.

A couple of questions regarding your reply

1)You mention that my car according to the VIN 1102054212 is a 1970 Standard Beetle
Can you explain what the model is if it is ‘standard’ ie:1200, 1300 or a 1500?

2)Due to the Engine number being H1129283 you explained that it is a 1967 1500cc Single Port engine – Can you explain what Single Port means?

3)Finally what do you mean by 1970 being ‘Offered Stock’ with a ‘B’ Series 1600cc Single Port Engine , does this mean the 1970 could come with a B Series 1600cc Engine? What is meant by B Series?

Thanks a lot for your help much appreciated
