Norev's 1:18 diecast Volkswagen 1303 in yellow and black reproduces the curved-windscreen Beetle variant sold abroad as the Super Beetle. Diecast construction with opening doors and bonnet suits this accessible classic. A distinct Beetle generation rather than the standard flat-windscreen original, for a broader VW shelf.
About the Volkswagen 1303 Yellow & Black Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Volkswagen 1303 in yellow and black reproduces the curved-windscreen Beetle variant sold abroad as the Super Beetle. Diecast construction with opening doors and bonnet suits this accessible classic. A distinct Beetle generation rather than the standard flat-windscreen original.
The 1303's curved windscreen and revised front suspension set it apart from the Beetle most people picture, and Norev's yellow-and-black diecast represents that later, roomier version of Volkswagen's most enduring shape.
Norev's Diecast Formula for a Genuinely Familiar Shape
Norev has produced Beetle variants across decades of its diecast range, and this 1303's rounder, more bulbous nose, a consequence of the model's revised MacPherson strut front suspension, gives the tooling a slightly different profile from earlier flat-windscreen castings in the same lineup. The yellow-and-black finish holds an even gloss across the car's simple, curved bodywork, and doors and bonnet open on Norev's typical diecast hinges, revealing a straightforward cabin that reflects the Beetle's genuinely spartan interior design.
The 1303's Place in the Beetle's Long Production Run
Volkswagen introduced the 1303 in 1972 as part of a long-running effort to modernise the Beetle without abandoning its fundamental layout, adding a curved windscreen for more interior space and revised front suspension for genuinely improved handling over the original torsion-bar setup. Markets outside Germany, particularly the United States, sold this version as the Super Beetle, a name that stuck in popular memory.
A Distinct Chapter of a Familiar Shape
This 1303 suits a Beetle generational study or a broader classic Volkswagen shelf, a distinct, later chapter in a shape most collectors think they already know completely.
