Rally Bugs
This web site is dedicated to the various Volkswagen Beetles used in rallying, whether it be international, national or just plain clubman.
As time goes by, I shall be attempting to find as much information as possible. To start with, I am going to focus on my particular favourites, the 1302S and 1303S cars that Porsche Austria ran in European rallies from 1971 until 1973. Some of the information came from the official FIA homologation papers for the 1302S (which includes the 1303S), and if you wish to order this information for yourself, you can contact your countries ASN (for the UK this is the MSA). There will probably be a small charge for this (currently £35 in the UK). To find your ASN (National Sporting Authority in French!), go to www.fia.com.
A lot of the black and white photographs came via Porsche Austria in Salzburg, who were kind enough to photocopy them from a book on the cars. Unfortunately, they were unable to provide any further information concerning the specification used.
