There have been several cars in VW Trends that look like that colour. I haven't been able to find a paint code in the articles though, sorry.
They have just called them "chocolate".

Well, knowing that that car is original paint, it can only be a few...
I am guessing it is - L73 Chesnut Brown(1951-53).
Alternatively it could be:
- L76 Brown Beige (1949-50)
- L70 Medium Brown (1949-53)
If I was a betting man I would say Chesnut..

its the same beetle in the narrowed beam video that was on here the past few weeks, i think its a 50 model. maybe the german folks would know.
chestnut brown sounds about right though.
thanks guys

Its a totally differant chestnut brown than the one used on split screen vans, this brown is a lot lighter.

I cant see vw having 2 chestnut browns.
Just look at any sealing wax red and chestnut brown deluxe van and you can see the van is a lot darker.

It would be like saying
"NOS for sale"
would that be 'New Old Stock'
or 'Nitrous Oxide (NOS)'
Maybe not so much on this forum, but on some others 'New Old Stock' is not relevant and 'Nitrous Oxide' is
Something to think about?
I'm going to play with my T2 now. 馃榾
