Hi,
Can anyone tell me from the image below if this is a super beetle or standard.
I know there are many other ways to tell, but this is all the info I have at this time.
Many thanks in advance for any help received.

No photo.
After a bit of tweaking (and some BBCode research) I think the image should now work. Thanks.
If it's definitely a 1974 model year...then it's a "Standard Beetle" due to the flat windshield.

Yes, a standard no matter what year. look at front valance 
Bumper mounts are before 1974, if it's a US model. 74 changed to the shock-mount impact bumpers
Seems to be a right hand drive car, so US model recognition points are rather moot. The car is definitely a standard, not a super.
From the US model perspective:
- front signal lights are pre-70
- rims are 75 on
- bumpers and brackets are pre-73
- hood is pre-67
Many thanks for the replies.
Sorry about the US/UK conversion, should have mentioned it's a UK model from the start.
From the comments, it sounds like this car has had a few 'modifications' in the past?

From USA, yes but from UK ?
As soon as I saw the RHD I knew USA standards did not apply
