Is there a way to tell what the motor is for this car 30 or 36hp? i did a bit of searching from what i can see is the single tip exhaust systems were fitted to the 30hp motor and that the oz assembled cars changed to the 36hp in march 1955 i belive my car is feb 1955 so i think i might have the 30hp motor🙄
Thanks

IN2VWS the engine number is 1-0992868 if you are able to work out what the motor is that would be great.

Great news the oval is now home sweet home😎
Pic of oval on trailer with the last owner

pic safely put away in shed
The last owner wants to come and check out progress from time to time so thats cool said i would take him for a drive when i get it on the road😎
That is soooo beautiful. I'm sure you'll do her justice!
Congrats on the find - there's plenty of envious dubbers here me thinks!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Does that mean that the Super will be up for sale? 😀
terrific car,im glad you got it.

Great find. 😵😵
They are still out there, tucked away sleeping and waiting.
very jelous and i love that colour...dont have to much fun with it.
http://aussieveedubbers.com/images/smilies/thumbup.gifThanks for the great comments everyone🙂
Hey Joel the thought has crossed my mind about selling the other bug but its not a super though has had a 1600 twin port fitted. It would help to clear some space and provide a few more dollars to go on the oval😀
Yep they are still out there just waiting to be found😉
Does anyone know what the seating capacity is for these oval bugs with no seat belts would it be 4 or 5 seats🙄
I had a 57 morris minor years ago same no seat belts went to get the car regested they asked me how many seats it had i said don't know they then asked how many seat belts
i said none they then asked how many would you like to make it so i said 5 so 5 seater it was reged as. Thought i would make it 5 just to cover me if i ever needed to carry 5 in the car.
4 seats
AS I have a 1971 superbug and the plate on the car says 4.
but i think you could get 8 people in 😂😂

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
Hi ian.mezz i have a 72 bug and they are 4 seater becouse thats what is on the compliance plate but older cars like the oval and morris minor don't have compliance plates so there is no seating number given. I have had 22 peaple in my mini😁
If anyone has a 50s to 60s bug what is the seating capacity on the rego papers?
we have 3 none seat belt bugs and no seating numbers on any rego papers

Thanks for the reply ian.mezz rego papers must be different in NSW as when i was in QLD and now in TAS the rego papers state the seating capacity of the car on them.
nice score! thats the colour im planning to put on my 56... make sure to show some build threads
Wow, what a fantastic find! As someone pointed out there may still be some out there waiting for rescue, but I suspect none too many in as good a shape to start with than yours. Congratulations, looking forward to watching your thread.
Kris.👍
