VOLKSWAGEN (AUSTRALIA) PTYLTD
type 114 chassis 2994027
weight lbs 2447 maxfront axel lbs 992
max rear axel lbs 1455
doesnt say anything about year either,, thers no vin stamped under the seat either,,when i took off the comp plate theres extra holes under it, so thought another plate might off been there.....anyone have any ideas of this plate,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers colleen:

from the chassis number 2994027
the car sounds like a 58 or 59
Purple Martin ·
That number was built in 1960.
Some sites with chassis numbers listed for each year:
Note: that means you have a 1960 body, but the chassis (pan) could be from a different year. That's why you also need to check the number on top of the tunnel under the rear seat.
