Trust me, a 1500 '67 is VERY different!
Whilst yours was registered in 1967, it's model year (which is the important bit!) is 1968! These were available in the UK from August 1st 1967.
The 1967 beetle had loads of one year only parts, and was available from mid 1966. Some very early ones were registered on D plates although the majority are on E plates, and there's also a good number registered on F plates, as dealers were already selling the newer shaped 1968 model by then. There are also a couple of known 1967 beetles registered on a G plate as these remained unsold in the dealerships whilst people bought the newer 'facelift' models.
this is a 1500 1967 Beetle.

and in comparison, this is yours
whilst it's very nice and looks a good honest car, there's no way I'd ever call that a 'stock' '67 1500 bug!
However, I'm sure it will sell easily enough if it's as solid as it looks
