Just looked at an early type 1 beetle.. The NSW reg sticker has the following:
0111249514
Then below the Plate Number on the sticker there are these numbers..
3051046..
I am guessing the 1st number is the cn.. Type one bettle dates 1961..?
Am I correct?.. Anything else I can learn from these numbers?
Advice appreciated.. I am thinking of buying it..

dunno if it would be an original delux or what ever but as the interior is a different colour to the fancy trim........or didnt that matter ?
StenGuns ·
Pyr0.. Seeing your project yesteday inspired me to go and have another look at this.. So your saying the interior should match the colour insert on the side mould?..
pyr0 ·
well im no expert but from what ive seen they do....hmm prolly wait for a few more reply's though, also they may have replaced the door cards on it :duh
forgot to mention i took the front guards off mine today to start the rust repairs 😉

bug looks pretty good in those pic too mate 😎

Yes.. I'm happy that with a bit of a tidy up, I can be driving it.. Maybe do a resto down the track but for now, its just cheap wheels..
pyr0 ·

Does the side flashy bits make it a particular model ie; Deluxe? Or did they just tart up the odd basic beetle on the production line.. I must admit, I like the look but just trying to research it a bit more.. My bug knowledge is SFA

umm from what ive heard and seen, the dealers back in the day did it to help sell them, as for comeing under a different title as say "delux" i dont think they are classified any different....mind you its better to have more then 1 opinion on this 😉

delux has a glovebox lid, like mine
:thumb
pyr0 ·
yeah but does the flask kit determin any difference in what its labled ?
pod ·
dont think so, as you said dealer fitted
StenGuns ·
Thanks.. Good to know..
The bumpers also dont have the towel rails which I understand were deluxe trim..
