It's a right hand drive. From 1975-1978, we just had the 1200 "L" Beetle, the standard model with the chrome trim - L spec. 1200's had the un vented engine lid. The car in the picture looks to have been de chromed at some stage. It was still possible to order the Super Beetle Cabriolet with the 1.6 engine though to late 1979/early 1980.
