  3. Hmm, anyone gonna tell her its actually a 74 model? :D

    She'd have to rewrite the song though.

    74, 74, rewrote the song
    Now I'm poor...

  4. fuel filler flap at the rear = 1972-1973 model year
    + new bumbers = 1973 model year only (08.1972 - 07.1973)

    I'm sure she would most concerned if she knew that there was a bunch of peeps chatting about her flaps

    Never seen a Haynes manual in a pop video before.

    That, the socket set and the kneeling at the noise cupboard entrance - fair play to her, she's stayed true van's heritage.

  8. I believe if that's original, it could be a 72 MY. Or one of VW's famous parts-bin specials.

  9. Looking at your Avatar photo your fuel flap is not at the rear - it is behind the open sliding door!
    This is changed in model year 1972 - 1973. Compare the video and yours...
     
  10. Yep - same as mine which is an M reg (Aug 73) but hers is an L reg so registered before August 73 .

    She knew to take her shoes off for going on the roof.

    Supporting When Rivers Meet? Another great female blues artists - quite a few getting recognition recently :cool: Rebecca Downes being another (must listen to her new album in full since she sent it to me, an old friend)

    When Rivers Meet also have a campervan, possibly an LT.

    I think the sad thing is, that somewhere in the back of my head, I knew that!
