another very nice oval

To be honest I'm not sure. How do you tell?

write down your VIN number, then check this site out

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/bugchassisdating.php

Following boersch's advice and checking out the web site I've discovered the following:
Fahrgestell Nr (I assume this is the VIN number) is 1249746
Underneath this is stamped MKA 17061 (have no idea what this number is for).

Thus, it appears the chassis is actually a 1956, not 1957 as I thought it was.

The oval certainly does have later model wheels on it though.

I'm 99% certain I used to own this Beetle. I will check out my photos for the registration no. to check.
If so, I can provide I bit of the history from when I bought it in 1985!

Cheers,
Andy.
