old Scirocco Mk1 blueprint - was :Re: mint Mk1 for sale...here in Germany

[Dirk Schneider" <Scirocco@t-online.de (Dirk Schneider)]

Hello,

Jasin is right,
the square lights were meant to be for the Sciroccos being sold in Europe,
while the USA should get the double round lights.
Therefore it is correct to name the square lights "Euro" lights, as they were Euro-only.

I have an original KARMANN blueprint
dated 14th of May 1973, in which this is documented.
The drawing shows the front & sideviews of the Scirocco
that was called " EA 422 " at this point of time.

the blueprint is way too big to be scanned with my scanner
so I tried to make pictures :

and here the US / EURO difference :

Hard to read but the left arrow says "USA-Ausführung"
while the right one says "Euro-Ausführung"

( fortunately they changed their mind and we DID get get double rounds here too  ! )



friendly Greets !

The large  square so-called "euro-lights" distinguish the car as a base

Actually the square lights were intended to be the sole headlights in the European market.
I am sure Dirk will chime in and explain how we know this :)
BTW I am jealous of his info source.
