1974, I knew it would as the exhaust had a few rust holes in it (it was the original one though  ) |

Should a `74 be tested on emissions ? BTW, the wife used to have a yellow 1303 Just ordered her a new Beetle cabrio - does this mean proper Beetle owners will spit on us ?! |

The emissions test should've been a visual check for that year - unless it was billowing soot they should've passed it  Just weaken the mixture right off for the MOT if they insist on sticking probes up its  , then put it back to normal afterwards. |

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

I once saw a new Beetle convertible with Herbie stripes, I thought it was cool So I waved and gave him the thumbs up, and he gave me them back - very cool  |

I'm with the LTV VW club which is open to all VWs air or water, I quite like the newbie even if it is a Golf in a frock The emissions failed as there was a chunky hole in the exhaust and it was smoking a bit. But now its passed, I can relax for another 12 months ;D |

i want my 1303S back  good lowering though, i always wanted to lower mine but was scared something would snap off as soon as i touched it with a spanner. it was one of 'those' cars. no end of tracking places refused to touch it as they thought it'd have to be RAC'ed away |

I still hate the BMW small car with a passion, but I don`t mind the new Beetle - double standards ? Probably |

That's why I couldn't understand why it failed on emissions, anything pre1975 inclusive is exempt (just visual check).
