Can someone tell me where on the chassis number is located on the body of a type 1 60's?
The plate in the front boot is for a type 2. I was wiping the grime away from the plate and saw the words TYPE 2 on the plate and knew that wasn't right!!!

I looked under the rear seat as that's where I thought the chassis number was located but I can't find anything there.
Not sure where else to look.

it WILL be stamped under the rear seat just in front of the oval access plate for the gear box coupling

It may be faint but it will (better) be there

Got it.
It was in front of the oval access plate. I had to get a rag to wipe the dust away and once I had a torch in there I coud see the chassis numer as plan as day.

Thanks for getting back to me Bizarre.

I checked the number against a few sites and I can't match it to any year.... I must be reading the sites incorrectly....
Number is 195535008nn[ Edited on 30-8-2005 by tinman ]

Sure about that number tinman??
Sounds mighty high for a 60's pan. There might be a star/asterisk stamped in at each end of the number as well, that may mislead if its not heavily stamped in.

Its an Australian made 65 model.

9 + australia and 5 = 1965

I went down and checked the number again after I looked at around 6 differant sites for chassis numbers. I was getting confused so thought I'd post the number.

I couldn't find an Australian site that showed chassis numbers as I was thinking the 19 number must be Australian specific as the sites i was looking at were in the UK.

Thanks vw54 for clarifying that for me. Was there a web site you pulled that from or memory?
