hi a question i have had for years.

my ragtop has a plate where the body number goes that appears to read "S R 1 1 # #" i have had a good look at the plate and the sunroof and both appear to be original not later additions. is this number normal for australian built ragtops?

plus does anyone have an idea of the timespan of these numbers as i have no date for my car (original pan long gone).

thanks.

henry.

mine has a sr number near the brake fluid container. thats the difference between converted and genuine ragtops.

I have 2 ragtop bugs a 56 and a 65 and i havent seen any special numbers on them

In aussie we had rag tops until May 66

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
