Q. How can I tell if I'm looking at a Last Edition Beetle ?
A. If the Beetle in question is the 1978 model (most have an S or T registration suffix), is the 1200cc flat-windscreen type, and was originally finished in silver metallic paint, then you're probably looking at a Last Edition Beetle. If you're really lucky, you may see a commemorative plaque on the dashboard, but don't count on it ! You can find more details on the History page of this website.
Q. Is this the same as a Jubilee Beetle / Silver Bug / Last Series Beetle etc, etc, etc ?
A. Nope. There are plenty of other 'special' Beetles with confusingly similar edition names. Have a look at Colin Shinkin's excellent Special Edition Beetle site, which should help to clear the mists of confusion.
Here's the latest news from the Last Edition Beetle Register.
Ever wondered how up-to-date the LEB Register is ? We've added a pie chart to our
Register page showing how recently we've
received news about each of the cars.
There's also a 'Last heard of' indicator on each individual LEB's page showing when we were last told something about it.
Founding member Jim McLachlan has sent us some photos of Last Edition Beetle number 91. We've also added some pictures of LEB number 72 under restoration and recent snaps of LEBs 178 and 193.
