Topless.. Your car is a 1966 Australian Made Beetle.

19 = Aussie Made
6 = 196'6'

Thats all I can remember, cause mine was similar..

Well You learn something everyday... I saw an engine at My Son's yesterday and asked him what the Letters in the Engine Number where and He said "It starts with 1965 .... NO Letters at all... " there was a VW emblem and a D next to it lower down. which I thought must be a VW Deutschland.... I thought all engine numbers started with LETTERS.
thanks again Jim, Bad luck You can't go to Valla-Nambucca... Lee
