That's the magazine that was published by Volkswagen in USA ? If it's that they published only a few issues.

I have 8 different ones, Sorry for the poor photo:
(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/DSCF0047.jpg)

Top row: 1974 Vol 1 #1; 1977 Vol 3 #1; 1979 Vol 1 #1 (!)
Middle row: 1980 Vol2 #1; 1982; 1983
Bottom row: 1984; 1985

Now, it's very obvious that the numbering is all over the place! In fact, it does not make any sense at all!

Keith it makes sense if you take "All about Hi-Performance" out of the set, I think this is a different publication.  Hence why its Vol1 #1.

And the volume 2's make sense as VW greats became VW and Porsche.  So the publication continued under a different name.

I also have VW Hi Performance Guide from 1971
