Does anyone have a picture of an Australian 60's VIN plate?

It appears i cant find mine in the front and i am looking at getting another made.

Just interested in seeing what they look like so you can blank out the numbers.

If anyone can post a pic it would be great.

Thats what i want to buy but if its not Ausie correct there's no use.

What do the Aussie ones look like?

Do they say Volkswagen Australia?

Is yours an Aussie bug or German?

If its German you can buy German ones off Samba.

If its Aussie i dont think anyone makes them 🙁

Costa,

PM me your address and I'll post this to you as its no use to me. Its from a 65 beetle, good thing is the chassis number is not legible so you could just stamp your one onto it.

Cheers

Steve

The number is stamped on the third line down - to the right of where it says 'CHASSIS NO'. Use number punches that are about the same font size - you can buy number punches at any good tool shop.

The plate can be cleaned up by scrubbing with a wire brush, then polishing with Brasso.

Costa it came off a 1964 beetle that lived in Coogee. Definitely sure it wasn't a kombi. I think it might mean Type 11 (eleven)??

Cheers

Your right Steve it is Type 11 as Bently refer to the Beetle as Type 11

Volkswagen Type 11 Beetle Sedan
Volkswagen Type 14 Karmann Ghia Coupe
Volkswagen Type 15 Beetle Convertible
Volkswagen Type 141 Karmann Ghia Convertible

must be internal VW code?

Yes, Type = 11 refers to Beetle - Type One One. They don't use Roman numerals on Volkswagen manufacturing plates. A Kombi is a Type 2, not a Type II.

This is the one off my old '64. You can see where the number is stamped.

Does anyone have a number punching tool that can do this for me?

Im hopeless with tools so would rather someone else with skills do it.
