No, they are the old wheels (with unorginal hubcaps). But already the big windows. So 1964.

Larger windows August 1964 onwards, so this is a MY1965+

MY1966 wheels http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/aug65bug/page29.jpg
Notice the 1966 ventilation slots in the 7th thumbnail, the main picture shows the old rims? So two different cars were used. Main is 1965.

No. The 1300 was introduced in August 1965 (so model year 1966 by the "VW-calendar" = the new model year starts after the summer vacations in the year before), Link to "de.wikipedia.org"

And "Sedan" was the name only in the US. Maybe boys bible can tell us, what was the official name in Hongkong.

Well a 1965 would be a 1200, a 1966 would be a 1300.

 Officially, Hong Kong usually says "VW1200", "VW1300", "VW1303", etc.
Like other countries, Hong Kong people also call Typ 1 as "Beetles".

Here I've found a HK ad of VW Beetles in 1970:

This ad was for selling photo-taking products, attracting customers by awarding a VW Beetle.
In the ad, they called Beetle as "VW 1300".

:think: @tore-40, can you tell, in what year Volkswagen started to write in Europe the local nicknames as Käfer, Beetle, Kever, Coccinelle, Maggiolino etc. on the sales brochures? Am I right, that it was in the lates 70ies, when only one model, the 1200 (and then made in Mexico), was left over.

Unfortunately, Hong Kong is not among one listed here :/

In Hong Kong, people says "甲蟲車", which means "Beetles".

Usually Hong Kong people won't care how to call the Typ 1, because Typ 1 is always sneered by Hong Kong people.

According to the Google Translate, the English word pronunciation says "Jiǎchóng chē".

 @tore-40: more precise: I mean, since when the nickname was written on the cover of the brochure. As I see now, in Germany already in 8/1972 -and even for the 1303- as I see now: http://www.vw-1303.com/vworiginal.html http://www.vw-1303.com/pictures/Prospekt0g.jpg

Well, as I know the colours of the VW-brochures in that years, I never look at the dealer's boxes on spare parts markets for those with yellow, green or blue covers, just for magenta :whistle:
