Aircooled VW South Africa

The earliest baywindow Autovillas looks like the one in the monochrome picture with the beetle in the foreground. It has a square door like very early seventies Jurgens caravans. Wonder how many of these were made?

Later ones has the door with rounded edges, in same position as earlier ones. These still have the stove and sink between the door and rear bed, like earliest ones.

There are also ones (like in the top picture), with the door moved backwards, stove/sink behind front passenger and larger rear bed. Still without the front overhang. Wonder when they introduced these minor changes? Or were there around 1974 2 different layouts to choose from?

Mine has the square-edged door; it was sold in July 1974. From my observation, the version with the rounded door set further back came in 1975.

Thanks Fig.

The square-door one i saw was serial: 204 2101xxx
