Ingo ◊ 2011-07-31 22:02	yes. Colour "leuchtorange" [L20B]
Ingo ◊ 2011-07-31 22:04	Two different Pick Ups! On the thumbnail is a pre-1972-model (old bumper, small taillights), on the main pic a 1973+
DynaMike ◊ 2011-07-31 22:06	That's right, Ingo. Is the colour related to it's function? (like Straßendienst or something similar?).
Ingo ◊ 2011-07-31 22:25	Yes, for that reson the colour is now for 40 years (introduced for the 1972 MY) in the VW-range. Not for private customers (since 1974), but still for road maintenace-vehicles. Also some garbage service-companies are using the colour. So the VW-"leuchtorange" has indeed the historicially nickname "müllmannorange" ( = "garbagemanorange" )
