Hi,
Is there anyway we can figure out how many oval window beetles are out there still registered and in use and the years of each?
Like in the uk they can tell you via some sort of data base check.
Anyway I have a 54 as a daily driver. Thats one.
Thanks
Iv got a 55 oval, but its only shed worthy, will be road going early next year
54 regoed and I drive it about here n there
57 oval on the road......you wanna buy it????
55 on the road. Driven to work most days
maybe put up a voting thingy at the top of the thread like 53,54,55 etc
one line/lot saying - road regoed, and a second line/one saying - shed resto
that will give a quick snapshot as to numbers 
54 bare metal nude bug not regoed only driven flat out down the drag track done about 84miles most of those at a 1/4 mile at a time 
56 regoed and driven about 25658 miles in the last 7 years
about 25658 miles
About, ha ha Rose, you kill me.
that what the speedo says but it's out due to the tyres so it could be a bit more

'55 reg., stock....oh, except for the Judson.
I have a 55' oval, registered and I've only owned her for about 2 weeks 
She's not my daily, but I try and get her out of the garage a couple of times per week!
Here is one oval unknown year but is the pride and joy of an owner from Wodonga. Here it is in Yea for the Bushrodders show and Shine Marck 2012.

I know there's none to 68 but does the lack of collapsible steering column bother any body?
erm I have no seatbelts either.. bother.. prolly won't even notice
I just sold a shed worthy '56.
There's at least 10 ovals in know of in Bendigo, only 4 on the road though.

Good thread this.
Few pictures please? especially "Ethel" from Mis Vdub.
If you have a head on with a truck, its fair to say even with a collapsable steering column, you are going to be in a WORLD of pain anyway!!! 
54 Oval Original everything, on the road
