I thought the Sunshine Beetle was the Sun Bug? A friend had a nice Yellow one years ago- NAB 18P. They were all 1975 models and came in Sunshine Yellow or Brilliant Orange. 1200 steering wheel, 1300 engine, GT Wheels, Padded dash, light grey seat fabric, rubber bumper strips.

Very interesting. Looks like a US-only thing then, which I don't really know anything about. Thanks for the info.

Have been told to look at Sunflower yellow L13K from 75 but that dose not match with the code in the service book.
