Out of interest I have been reading some stats on motor vehicle's registered in Australia related to VW's, these are cars currently registered at time of the census,

* Remember that these include all VW's, Type 1's, 2's, 3's etc..

* Obviously does not include cars that are no longer registered,


* How accurate do others feel these are?





Which can be found here:

That is really interesting.

Noticed that SA is way way over represented compared to states with higher populations.

I reckon this is all about our "easy" reg system not requiring RWC with sale.

Thoughts?

I didn't think we had that many pre 1950s VWs in Australia?
