Cars didn't need a compliance plate in the 60's - 70s etc..Pumba wrote:Has anyone got a picture of the compliance plate from a 61 beetle ???
You had to obtain the chassis number from under the rear seat
and the engine number off the engine....
there was a plate riveted in the front behind the spare wheel
a small alloy plate :
MADE IN
WESTERN GERMANY"
THERE WAS ANOTHER LARGER PLATE WITH THE TYPE NUMBER ETC ON IT... NOT SURE WHEN THEY STARTED.
will have to check. the plate is not used for anything..

Haven't we been through this one before?
The Australian Design Rules that manufacturers/importers had to meet came into effect in 1970, so prior to this there was no 'compliance plate'. The little metal plate fitted near the washer bottle behind the spare tyre was called the Manufacturers Plate. The 1960s ones only had rudimentary details on them.
Lee only German-built Beetles had 'Made in Western Germany' on them. Australian-sold cars were almost all made in Melbourne, and had 'Volkswagen Australasia Ltd' on them. Only the very earliest '54 Beetles, and the '68-on semi autos (and the earliest '68 manuals) were fully imported. The rest were made here.
After 1970, when the Design Rules came in, the Manufacturers Plate then had to specify which of the rules the car met, so it became a 'Compliance plate'. The number of rules increased significantly over the years!
This is the Manufacturers Plate from my old Aussie '64 (which I kept as a souvenir after it was written off)

No it was replaced by the 'Compliance plate' as Australia had option M912. The "Manufacturers Plate" or "Vehicle ID Plate" was not fitted to Australian delivered vehicles until very recently.After 1970, when the Design Rules came in, the Manufacturers Plate then had to specify which of the rules the car met, so it became a 'Compliance plate'.

Apart from a few demonstrators in 1961, the Beetle Cabriolet was never sold in Australia. Less than 400 Karmann Ghias were sold here in 12 years, but yes they were fully imported. As was the 1600TS, a few VW 411 and Type 182 demonstrators and numerous Euro Delivery and private imports over the years. Thanks for the reminder!
Didn't I just say that the old manufacturers plate became a compliance plate when the ADRs came in? Here's an early '70s example - even though the car was CKD assembled in Melbourne, the plate now says 'This vehicle was manufactured by Volkswagenwerk AG to comply with Australian Design Rules Nos: 1,2 3...', etc etc. Yes it's now a 'compliance plate' because that what it is specifying; but you could also still call it a 'manufacturers plate' if you wanted. I'm not talking about the current models - or even the post '77 full imports.
The only reference to the VW M912 code I can find quickly is to do with chromed mudguard beading - please explain?

50 Cabros were imported in 1961 to be sold through Melbourne dealers in June. (Winter time) I wonder why they didn't sell?
