As far as I know it was still at the original CLAYTON Victoria VW factory...
I would like to know the percentage of German parts used in the car. I thought they may be CKD kit cars.
(Completely Knocked Down kits) and assembled here, but they may have used some Australian parts like glass etc...
I don't know how many were made in '76 but they didn't sell them all and were still selling them in 1977.
Nissan bought the factory to produce Datsun cars .
After all that - they are probably the best beetle to own!!! IMHO...
