The OTL Type 1 is iconic, unquestionably.
However, there were other options... There was a "notchback" variant, never produced in quantity. There was a 4-door taxi (the Rometsch).
How much difference would it have made to the Type 1's success had the "notchback" been the standard model? Or had the 4-door been a factory option? Or a delivery?cool Or a wagon?
Would these have diluted sales & driven up costs? Or broadened the appeal & increased sales? Or made no difference?
