Just thought i would post some pics of my beetles.
The white one was sold to me as a 1959 Delux however i believe it may be a 1960.... It still has semophores, no fuel gauge, non-syncro 1st gear, but has push button door handles and a non-original 1300 engine. Is there another way to tell? Still running 6v.
The red one i believe is a 1962 delux? has 12v new interior and a 1600 engine from a 1969 Kombi.
the chassis number will tell u what year it is. Post it and I can tell you.

Why copy when you can own an original ?

Another question my speedo cable isnt connected at the wheel.
My problem is the square end of the cable doesnt seem to physically fit in through the square hole in the hub. Could this be the wrong cable? And if i enlarged the hole in the hub would it work?
Thanks in advane

hey
just wanted to add, that newbie here is my partner and for my 19th birthday i was given the red '62. (the one with the kombi engine currently under a tarpoline 10m from the car!!!) YAY for me!!!!
nice cars newbie and uberhitzt!
I got an early '60 very similar to the white one, but with a few more coats of different coloured paint! and a LOT more wires (which somebody resprayed all of them blue) underneath the bonnet
when will they hit the road?
speeding is bad!
relax - god's in charge
hey lams,
not too sure really.... erm the red '62 needs the engine and lights, then it should be just about ready. So i'll have to talk to the other half about weather he'll be able to do it himself or if we need to send it off to the professionals. The white one has rego and road worthy... but newbie will be able to tell you more... i'm just a beauty therapist!!!!
The same problem with the 59 lams, cept in all my wires are red....
I gave you a call about your beetle whilest it was for sale 😀
So once the some electrical dramas are over, and once some seatbelts are fitted she will be ready to go!
another quick way to check the MY is the date will be stamped on the rear of the speedo unit, you should be able to see this from 'under the bonnet son'..
thats as long as it hasn't been changed?
