Brian Addison / John McKerrell in EUU 440J
The car was running in Group 1 - that means it is standard apart from a balanced and blueprinted engine, Koni shock absorbers and Taper Tip exhaust pipes. It had a full sumpguard, 4 Cibie spotlamps and Cibie Biode headlights.
It finished 104th from a 236 starting number It would have been higher, apparently the special stages in some forests had not been ploughed and cars in front got stuck holding up the Beetle on some special stages.

The VW 1302S of Helmut Doppelreiter, who rallied in the early seventies in private VWs (see the report of the 1973 Acropolis-Rally). In 1974 he was allowed to drive a 'works' rally car from Porsche Salzburg but, because of the fuel-crisis, this only happened a few times. The car in the photograph is a so called "Muletto", which was used for training. It is not an original Porsche-Salzburg rally car, but is prepared like one with some original parts, e. g. engine, steering wheel etc.
Herr Doppelreiter still owned the car in 1998, although in an un-restorable state, and it was his intention to transfer all the salvageable parts to a new body and floor pan.
