A bit hard to find; Gulf Green (Dulux 2084) was only used in Australia in the late '50s. Other greens were used from 1960-on. See http://www.clubvw.org.au/colour_identification.htm

The interior colour scheme would have been either tan, or grey.

Green paint with green trim - no wonder there's not many of them around ! Never seen one like that.

your quite right about the green trim ths is mine in my gulf green bug

I didnt realise the colour was quite rare. I wanted pics of the interior because mine is quite ratty, plus i havnt got a headliner or carpet. As im in the process of thinikin about gettin the interior done i wanted to see one in good condition and wanted to know what colour the headliner and carpet was. I was thinking about just gettin a tan interior, but i guess as its abit special i mite stick with the original colours.

This was mine sat in a field in victoria i think, this was the condition that i bought it in.
