Cheers Todd 😀
Hope this helps.

Hi there Chippy, I have family living out at Killarney, nice spot out there.
Can you email some pics of your Country Buggy to me at
vwnuts@bigpond.com so that I can add it to the Country Buggy Gallery.

Chippy,
Still waiting for you to cough up the KO Number.
Have you got the vehicle in your posession yet.?
countrybuggybill

Chippy,
Betta get out there and get your hands on the vehicle before someone else does.
There are plenty of people out there sniffing

what does KO actually mean? and is there a referance point where CB's can be dated using the KO number? or do you date a CB on the chassis number a similar way to bugs n busses? cheers jon

From information given to me by an ex factory employee the KO number represents the "Konstruktion Order" and the number tags were affixed to the body at the start of the production line. As a result the vehicles were produced and came of the production line in order of KO number.
There is no strict correlation between KO #, engine # and chassis # although I do see that earlier KO #s have earlier engine and chassis numbers.
I have a timing schedule of production which shows what month the various KO's were produced. As an example KO0613 came of the production line in June 1968 as part of the monthly total of 114 CB vehicles.
Hope this helps.
